Me too, I liked to see inside first, before I go farther! What the purpose not to, why not just show a drawing! ☮️💟
I do believe that spacecraft campers are the best on the planet. Especially since this man likes them. My 45' spacecraft is a working progress as well. Thanks for sharing. p.s I wouldn't go for the solar panels. You will mess up your unpenetrated roof. It would be hard to keep the solar panels from bouncing up and down. Solar panels on your truck might be better.
Now here's a guy who puts some thought into things!

Aviation baby ... that's what we do and why you don't fall outta the sky!!!
Absolutely outstanding!.....This has got to be the BEST!....Steve is a genius! He has designed and built what must be the best electrical system for total and completely self sufficient living. Steve and his lovely wife have spent year's designing their own special Bumper Pull, Fith Wheel!. Anyone who is thinking about living like this should checkout Steve's work. The very very best planning and work has gone into this palace!.....Steve is a very very ingenious great man.

So, one should be able to take all this great information straight to Spacecraft and say build one just like Steve's.
Wow thanks for all the SpaceCraft videos. I hope they are still in business so I can have a custom rig built. This one was amazing with all its tech way back in 2017. With all the new changes with solar and accessories I hope to make a rig that will never be plugged in anywhere.
As a female this is what is attractive to me, a man who can master anything technical, mechanical, electrical. You gotta love it!
WOW! What a great looking and high tech unit. Very nice!
This man is a genius
Thanks Gregg for posting another Great video, a different perspective is always good. Beautiful trailer! My hats off to this guy. He did a great job planning, Spacecraft is truly a custom build. Glad to see someone used the mini HVAC units, that's on my build list also. I also want to see the Volvo now?

Hello. Next time I catch up with the owners, I will ask for the tour!
Absolutely Beautiful color scheme! Thank You so much for sharing such an immaculately designed trailer!
I have never have never seen such an amazing travel trailer. Great commentary also .
Love this set up, Greg! Nice video as always!
If Steve flew the Dream-lifter he must have worked for Boeing. Nice job guys. This has almost everything I would want in MY ultimate RV. The only thing missing is the Basement Slideout Jacuzzi with the 80” HD TV and Wet Bar/BBQ Grill combo

All About RVHaulers with Gregg Holy shit!
Nicest rv I have every seen
We parked next to these guys too, in Higginsville, MO!! They were super nice and I stared a lot at him working on that inverter system, not knowing what it was! Lol
Beautiful Rig thank you Steve letting us look at it
Very nice setup!!!!
+1. .. Now your talking, 48volt system! .. This coach owner is on the bleeding edge; 48volt. .. Gotta luv this guy, complete with a Daniel Boone hat . . . .
On the electrical bin I have no idea what he said! He must be retired from nasa! Fantastic trailer and truck!
This is amazing! They are both very talented, love 💕 it
Impressive rig! Thanks for sharing it with us :)
I dont care what's in the cellar. What is only important is the inside.. the part that I am in . Priorty is not gadgets.
I have a similar electrical system in my 5th wheel where I run 24/7 on inverters. Instead of a Chevy Volt battery, I use aircraft lithium cells.
Sick video
I want to see his Volvo now!

That's a nice setup there
Ok thanks for the part 2, I was wondering what rig would be able to pull a beast like that. Sure is awesome.
Wow . I'm speechless . Very very cool . He should fish and market that thing.
Incredible.
That is the best damn trailer I've ever seen I saw the inside first then I found this video of the outside it is just unbelievable magnificent 😁👍
Good job..... wow, you're awesome !!!
Nice!!! Not my cup of tea, but amazing, none the less. With that voice, Steve has another career in radio

Just Stunning!!!! What a truly awesome RV. These nice folks really built an amazing coach. I love many of the features they designed. His power management engineering is awe inspiring. What an intelligent man. The entry stair system StarCraft uses is the best. It's a little more weight and labor intensive but so worth it. A modification to the new Mor-Ride fold up stairs can provide a similar set up featuring the small stoop at the top of the stairs. This can be achieved by a separate fold down platform. Or so it seems in my non-engineering pea sized brain. Two things I dislike about SpaceCraft. One is the ceiling. And the second is their fender skirts. Granted they aren't a production line with millions to spend on R&D annually to update the the model for next year or even half year changes as we see today from some of the biggest RV manufacturers. Additionally it was surprising to see wood framing for the floor. Is the entire unit framed in wood? Yes wood is much better than aluminum for insulating purposes. Aluminum is an unstoppable conductor of heat. Cold days it pulls heat out. On hot days it heats the interior. Therefore it's understandable if the walls and especially the roof is all wood. If so, that certainly explains some of the extreme weight of this rv. Although not extreme considering the length, height, and top tier materials and finishes. This is an "Extreme RV" made to last for the next generation to enjoy. It really is a high-end house on wheels. Not your typical full time rv with a use by date or shelf life of just 10 years. Thank you for taking the time to film and share this video. Additionally thank your friends for me for allowing you to film their beautiful home. This is the most detailed video of a StarCraft I've seen. Most excellent! Cheers from Seattle!
THING IS INSANE!!
Amazing
This guy is a boss
I love it; but what do you pull it with; certainly not the average pickup truck
Isn't his power management engineering truly amazing? He could have a second career in design and engineering for the RV industry giants. Better yet he could patent his system and sell it outright for a vast sum or sell licensing rights to manufacturers. His wife would be a great asset for the interior design and engineering department as well. Some stunning and creative aspects are exclusive to this RV. This RV itself is the first of it's kind for StarCraft.
It probably has those old OLED 85 inch 8K tv's from 2021 inside.
Where is this RV park where you can park these big trailers
Hey Gregg. Love the videos. Have you ever needed to rerun the coax cables connected to the side mirrors? Maybe an option for video in the future :)

Howdy Mccain1220! Yes those CB antenna cables tend to wear and fail over time where they are exposed between the door and the sleeper body. Argh. Good idea for a video!
Just curious if someone can answer this. Could you take say 1-2 Tesla 100 battery packs and wire them up to run a 5th wheel or RV. Just to power the accessories. If you could it could run it for at least a week and this is not counting the solar input too.
i am a ham as well, i wonder if he would put his ham call , great video
He's a super trucker 😃
Wow, bumper pull?
Assuming the 48’ length is bumper to hitch that leaves 17’ for the Volvo. Looks like it’s longer than 65’.

Hello. Actually my understanding is that the coach is 48 feet of living space. Yes, that is a VERY safe assumption it is a bit long. Maybe a bit over 65 feet. I didn't measure it myself, but I would guess it might be 65 feet 80 inches long.
@Ray092684

Not all states are limited to 65'. Plus, if he has CDL he won't be limited on total length but rather trailer length, 53'.
I was just wondering how long can the trailer boondock for ? How long does it take to recharge the 48 volt lithium bank ?
What happened to seeing the inside? How do you sell something when the most important things are left out?
You forgot the video link at the end again Gregg. lol
Wonder what the combined vehicle length is ?
Gregg, I’ve been enjoying your videos. Question as to overall length. If your total length (RVHauler and trailer ) is over 65’ and you want to drive it through states that the max length is 65’, what do you do ? You just take a risk of being pulled over by police or you can ask for a special permit ? Sorry I’ve never owned a RV, ant this might be a silly question to ask.

Hello, and thanks for the question. Every state has their own rules. There are some NE states that have even shorter overall lengths (50'). Some are longer (80'). Some vary from road to road WITHIN an individual state. There are many standard pickup truck and trailer combinations that are over those lengths. There are even length limits for the trailer itself in some states. Some states require trailers to be 40' or less. It is a conscious decision every traveler has to make. Some folks have chosen to avoid certain locations, while others have traveled for close to 20 years with long rigs - and never had issues.
how about the video of the inside
Off the grid awesomeness - Eff U NSA try 2 find me. I assume the gun safe(s) are inside.
Came to the comments to look for the guys who always cry about weight distribution/anti-sway hitches.... Haha
Why tyres is so small for this trailer
Steve, an electrician by trade?
Do you find yourself being restricted to many places you can go to? Being so long and tall does it take alot extensive planning on the route you take?

Hello Lou. Great question thanks. Folks with longer rigs like this one can quickly determine if a camp-ground can accommodate them. All it takes is a phone call. All the campgrounds know how long their sites are, and the maneuverability within their facility. They are getting more and more long combinations, and have it figured out. Also, we will often use satellite imagery from Google maps to figure things out in advance.
Show us the truck & the car!!
As a truck driver myself and knowing that balance of load is key to good handling. My question is, knowing the trailers you are setting up to pull are nowhere near as heavy as what I pull. By putting the hitch behind the axle and not centered over the drive, does this effect truck handling and what is the reason for not centering the hitch?

Volvo. See last minute of video.
Dangerously inadequate axle capacity, not enough safety factor. Running at near Max all the time.
3, 8k axles = 24k lbs of capacity.....but the camper is 26,5k lbs "dry" and presently 29,2k lbs (how does he get a max gross of 30,3k lbs?)
