Kirk W Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 I have always considered the Airstream trailers to be expensive, and the Bowlus probably the most expensive, but I recently came across one of the Living Vehicle trailers which are absolutely awesome! I plan to get one for Pam, just as soon as I win the lottery! Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Have you looked at prices for Newell, Liberty Coach, or several others lately? Or in trailers check out the Bowlus. 1 hour ago, durangodon said: Probably about what the all electric, self parking Airstream will cost. Probably true but the Living Vehicles are available now. That Airstream does have something that Living Vehicle does not. Quote To get to that 300 miles and beyond, Thor worked with the engineering experts at Roush to integrate a small, thoughtfully packaged hydrogen fuel cell that can provide the TVV’s electric motors with power, charge the TVV’s batteries, and power the “home load” of the RV far off the grid, eliminating a different type of range anxiety for more adventurous RVers.

GlennWest Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 But it a travel trailer. For $300,000 plus one can get a custom New Horizons or Spacecraft. Much more for the cost.

steiny93 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 I'm not getting the allure of the Living Vehicle deal. Quote 2000 volvo 6102013 cyclone 3950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The styling probably appeals to some people (it does to me, but I wonder how long I would continue to like it), but from looking at the website, I think they're promoting a lifestyle, and at that price, an aspirational lifestyle. An exclusive aspirational lifestyle. And speaking of exclusive, it rankles that you can read all kinds of marketing hype all over the website, but if you want to download the brochure, you have to give them your email address and they'll email it to you. I think I'll opt out of that data sacrificing opportunity. I also looked around the Bowlus website, and it has even more content that is unavailable unless you give up data. Still, even the unwashed masses can delight in the description of their "Stunning Hotel-Style En Suite Bathroom" -- "Spacious with luxurious chrome and teak finishes with a shower that extends outdoors." Oh, and with a "Toilet with Hygienic Easy Emptying Cassette System." Just like at the Ritz Carlton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted January 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 One might get the impression that neither the Living Vehicle or the Bowlus have most of us in mind as a market for what they make??? 🤥 Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

The marketing people are surely working overtime on some of these higher-end RV's. It must work with some folks or they would be doing it!

RV_ Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Some also own multi-million dollar yachts and penthouses. I am happy for them as well as me in my more modest homes and RVs. I also did not go for a Prevost in the late 90s nor new at any time for our RVs and campers. My Gramps had a saying even though he drove Opel wagons and SAABs: "Everyone hates Cadillac until they can afford one."
