The first Rv company which makes common sense. Maybe all the others can copy them if they cannot innovate themselves?

I was really excited to watch this video. Unfortunately I was unable to get a sense of the layout or the interior at all because the focus of the filming was the people talking not the rv. 😕

Amazing! It is a gigantus system, especially the 108kwh battery and 10kw solar. Only draw back is the 2x5kw quattro. Maybe better with 2x8kw quattro.

WOW! Amazing! But, I'd be really nervous about hauling it. My preference is something like yours, Charity; something I drive. All in one.

Absolutely, Wow!! The possibilities and the new technologies that are coming forward. Thank You!

Wow! Now THAT is quite the rig! I wanted to mention how much I enjoy your videos. You always have interesting information that educates and entertains at the same time, and that’s a tricky thing to do year in and year out. We will be full-timers in a few years and I feel like we have learned so much from you already. Safe travels!!

I believe, this is the first time I've been impressed by a RV!

This is all wonderful for a lot of places right now, but a little in the future for some areas. Having lived in a solar home in NE USA, I’m aware of things that affect solar power in some areas. Right off the bat, the panels are flat here, so whichever direction the sun is coming from, you’re capturing power. On a home, roofs are slanted, and you either only put panels on one side or half the panels are getting little to no sun half the day. You also obviously have more sun the closer you are to the equator. Many of these RVs chase weather which you can’t do in a home. Finally, the average middle class would have trouble paying for a system like this while paying a mortgage. Add to that how often technology changes. Without going too deep into detail, it’s easier and cheaper in the RV world to upsize, downsize, upgrade, downgrade, than it is in 2000 sq. ft. This is all still state of the art and wonderful… I’m just throwing some quick things out for people wondering why this isn’t how all homes are built.

Our Aunt & Uncle have a spacecraft that they bought used it is from 1978 they bought it in 1984 and it is still in use today by their granddaughter & family. Not a full size w/d but they did have the first of its kind travel size w/d also had a full size tub/shower. I would love to buy one of the new ones so maybe if we hit the lottery 😅

Great as a showcase for taking current technologies to the limit, but as a unit for the average camper, not so much. Whenever it takes a commercial truck to tow the rig, 99.9% of the market is out. This will appeal to the buyer who would shop Prevost or Newell. Thanks for taking the time to present this trailer.

All I can say is wow, n nicely done! Thank you!

Wow, that's massive - definitely a first-class rig! I'm in the process of building a solar system that's less than 1/2 that size on my motorhome and I thought that was a fairly big system. I just finished the 12v phase with a 620w self-lifting array mounted on the side of my MH and a 7.1kwh LiFePo-4 battery. Next will be the 48v phase with 4,000 watts on the roof and a 15.9kwh 51.2v battery. I really can't go any bigger due to weight, size and cost constraints. My total system will be about 4,600w of solar and 23Kwh of batteries. I have been doing all the design and construction work myself to keep the cost low. My total system cost with a super high efficiency mini split will be around $12,600 - and over a hundred hours of labor, but I'm retired so my labor is basically free. I mean, what else am I going to do with my time? Plus, when something breaks, I can fix it, because I built it. My motorhome hasn't been in the shop since we went FT, 4 years ago. I don't even want to know what a solar system that size costs, cause it's definitely out of my price range. I'll bet a solar/battery system that size costs more than my entire motorhome! Heck the battery alone is probably worth more than my entire motorhome. It helps to have perspective. 😉 I can't even imagine the size and weight of a 108Kwh battery bank. You must need a class 8 tractor to pull a trailer that size. Good luck boondocking on soft pastures, muddy forest service roads and on sandy beaches with something that heavy. We've been FT for 4 years, boondocking most of that time and this size rig is not suitable for the kind of boondocking we do. Maybe if all you do is go to smooth, hard packed open places like Quartzsite it would work.

Talk about being blown away. FANTASTIC SAFE TRAVELS

Crazy!!

That is an awesome RV. I'm going to ask 🎅 for this now so maybe I can get for Christmas. 🤣 God Bless. 💕💕💕

This is really nice, but isn’t the point of “camping” to simplify things? I don’t know, I’m not up to date on this stuff, but I remember having a blast at my Nana’s tiny house (back in the 60’s) at the beach, all of us grandkids running around the campgrounds and cooking outside on an old bbq. Most fun ever! My Nana got the house cuz’ she managed the campgrounds.

If you could afford this why would you? It’s more than the average person’s house. If you have to park it on BLM land where would you empty the tanks and fill with water?

It's a cool rig but really how many camp grounds can take that big of a rig? You need a semi to pull it which is nuts. You went green with your camper but then you had to buy a semi truck to pull your big green rig lol. Off grid is great but how many places out west can a semi truck go off road to BLM land to camp for free off grid. Great technology its pretty cool but not practical at all. Nothing like boondocking most of your trip at truck stops and rest stops cause a camp ground can't take that big of a rig.

@@andrewkeech9605 I do not understand what your comment is trying to say. 1/4" steel plate ways over 10 lbs. per square foot, now you are adding over 90 lbs. to the weight of this rig. WHY?. You have THREE tires on each side IN A ROW!! Why do 18 wheelers have TWO tires side by side (call dual wheels), to spread out the weight from side to side right? When ANY two axle rig goes into the sand or soft ground the first wheel pushed down the sand, the second wheel pushes down the sand more and for the bigger rigs that have three axles the third wheel will push down EVEN more!! Therefore getting STUCK much faster right. The tractor pulling this rig, does it have dual wheels? They are there for a reason.
