C'mon, folks - think about it like a house. REAL tile floor? SAMSUNG TV sets? Fridge with TWO freezers? KING size bed? INSTANT hot water? I've lived in
Yeah it does look high quality, that's why it cost so much. I could do without the fancy cabinets and floors and put that money towards an outside grilling area and things like that.
They go with their market. People who pay that amount of money for something they could get same quality at 1/4 the price . They don't care about good design. All they want is flashy.
DR Do-Little: There is no way they can get the same quality build for 1/4 the price. They may get the same amount of "bling", but it would be hung on plywood and with lots of staples, and falling apart in short order. There are rigs that cost less that are great builds with some of the same "bling" if that's what you are looking for. But the fact remains that these units start with a steel chasis and a steel frame. The units for the price you are talking about take a steel chasis and add an aluminum frame, much better then plywood and fiberglass less expensive units, but not the same strength, or quality... I wish I could afford one of these new, so I could have it custom built to my specs and tastes. I would enjoy it immensely, and anyone who didn't like my tastes, well, it wouldn't bother me, because I would be happy, and I would be the one who paid for it. So your opinion wouldn't matter to me.
The bus I am sure is great, but to me I felt like they made it far to gaudy. Place looked like a cheap casino somewhere. All it was missing was a couple of pink flamingos stuck in the grass near the front door.
It isn’t made for poor people, someone who buys this already has a few houses at least. They don’t even have to worry about money, just buy what they like.
just not a good investment. RVs do not hold value. you should look up RV Graveyard on youtube. Even if I won the a multi million dollar lottery I wouldn't spend that kind of money on something 2 years later I can get for a third of the price all because they got bored with camping.
@@bumblebees8732 you are thinking as middle class . People with enough money to buy such as expensive Rv aren't looking for investment but more to fill their needs and nice egos. You want it built for you. Your way your colors your touch And thats great . It is one of the reason you work hard to get money
@@Ushootout I can only speak for myself I would rather buy used for dirt cheap and set it up the way I want it with minimal investment. I had a friend that did what you mention and 2yrs later he decided he didn't want it anymore and it sat for a few years before it sold and he took a tremendous hit. it is was it is. A place to hang your hat when not at home. If one is so shallow to spend a ton of money just to look good. then a fool and his money will be easily parted. I have a nice little hybrid I'm restoring and I love it. It's perfect for me. It's nice and clean not a lot of bells and whistles but it works for my needs and I'm not broke. I can go out anytime I want. If I was a millionaire I would still have a used RV.
This coach would need to include the services of a driver/concierge/valet/janitor/maintenance technician before I would consider such a purchase. You pay that kind of dough and still have to get out and get under to empty the holding tanks. No thanks!
Solrachigh: People everyday purchase all classes of RV's from Travel Trailers to Class A motorhomes to live and travel in. Some purchase used rigs and update them or customize them to their needs and desires. Some even sell their bricks and sticks homes and commit to living full time in their rigs and are quite happy. Others buy new rigs and do the same. Just because it is not a desire of yours to live this kind of lifestyle, doesn't make it unattractive or doable to others. I have been doing this since 2013, and have no thoughts about quitting. I have many friends and acquaintances I have met while on the road who live and travel in everything from 20' campervans to 45' class A MH's. And although none would wish you any ill will, I believe they would love to HANG an effigy of your attitude over a gator filled swamp with a rotten rope.........
SOLRACHIGH if I had 2.5 mil I would spend it on this because it’s all you need in a house if you are 1 or even 2 person this is great for it... and you can take it wherever you go
Its nice, very nice but not 2.5 million dollars nice. And yeah deciding to live in an RV full time is fine but to spend that much on it if you didn't already own a house is ludicrous. I don't honesty see myself ever buying a house for 2.5 million let alone an RV. And you can buy a really nice class A motorhome for $100,000 so your saying if you had 2.5 million you'd sink it all into this? Just this?
So very sad but so very true. I've never seen one that was 2.5 originally so I've never seen one being resold. But I have seen ones that were $375k when new sale for $80k when their only 3yrs old. And one's that were $irk new get 2 or 3 years on them and sale for $15k. So I'm guessing at 2.5 new that your going to get $750k for it when your sell it in 3 or 4 years. Go by some bad as vacation property / home for a millio and in about 8yrs sell it for 3 million.
Rick M I thought the same thing. I thought that much money would give you more. It's still an RV. Not worth the money. Best thing about this RV is they paint job on the outside.
It really only fits a family of two comfortably....I can get one that better suits my family of five needs for 20k way better than spending 2.5 million
So the 2.5 million dollar one is built on the same 45 foot frame as the 150k model? They just used more expensive materials. I'll take the one for 150k and add extra things myself along the way for a whole lot cheaper than 2.5 million
These bus conversions are custom built, which means built to the tastes of whoever is paying for it. I hope you win the Lotto and order one so everyone can critisize your tastes
Rory Roberts But that doesn't negate his comment. Isn't a coincidence that most of them look like tacky chinese buffets, they only thing missing is the catfish water tank and the stack of plates.
2.5 million and he's pointing out that the first bathroom,hall way and storage cupboard have sliding doors which makes it look like an extra roomy space! This is how poor this design layout is! It's like some school children designed it! I've seen better designs with clever layouts for way way less! Imagine the depreatiation on this after 12 months!
Thats the best comment on this topic IMHO. I was thinking the same thing. If I were able to afford it, would I be spending sufficient time in it??? Ofcourse not.
I don’t get these RV interiors!!! There is nothing luxurious about this. Looks hideous and has no taste. As well as cheep materials. All the furniture build-outs are cheep Particle board. The tile is nothing special I have nicer floors in my hall closet. The lighting is ridiculous! Here where i live, you can build a 10,000 sq mansion with designer finishes, and still have some left over for 2.4 mill!
Snah Shzj I mean I wouldn’t say that! I’m comfortable. I just work hard for what I have. Raised by a single mother of 3 kids, I have worked for myself since I was little.
While it is very nice , what's not nice is the FACT that it only costs about $400,000 to build! Rest is profit. Not worth it! Sorry but the value drops by $2 million as soon as it leaves the lot.
sorry but that shell alone costs the company 700,000$, the x3 slightly less. like previously stated it takes about 10 months to build with about 200 employees working on it and truly the finest materials going into that shell. The labor and materials in the paint alone would cost you more than the average new vehicle. There's a reason why they have managed to still be standing as a leader and innovater in this specific market after 30+ years and nearly 1,300 hand built coaches. Take a tour of the facility or step inside a marathon coach and you will see why they are still selling these 2.5 million dollar coaches and catering to some of the countries biggest celebrities, musicians, nascar drivers, and successful business owner that can afford them and would obviously know high quality given by the lifestyle they most likely live .
so 2.5 mill and you only get an over-glorified one bed bus... 2.5 not only it wont come with a small car in it's belly, but the table motor is so loud like a garden water pump.
Simon Gabor: and how much do you think the European bus conversion on a Mercedes Benz chasis you are referring to costs. I know you are intelligent enough to know that it costs even more, and then you have to ship it and the car to the US from Germany.......
There is an MB assembly factory in the US, so I doubt they're shipping them anymore. But Sir you kinda missing the point, where I'm only pointing out on the crazy price tag, and the big nothing you get for it. And I know your intelligent enough to know that I'm right.
Simon Gabor: The MB plant here in America Builds SUV's and certain MB cars. You referred to the MH based on a MB chasis, not built here in the US. That particular MH is narrower and much taller then the MH's built here. One because of the garage underneath it, and the width of many of the European roads. As I pointed out before, the cost of the Empty shell from Prevost (since they have no competition) is $750K for the H3 and slightly less for the X3. But the entire chasis and frame is built of steel not like the gas coaches built here with an aluminum frame welded to the chasis and finished with plywood covered by fiberglass. The reason for that is to keep the price point as cheap as possible. Take a tour of the plants that build bus conversions, and you will see it can take 8 mos. to build a single coach, lots of employees with skills in painting, electrical, tiling, carpentry, carpet laying, and all of the specialty tools, and facilities necessary. This is a big cog in our economy. We are looking @ the price point from a worker bee's point of view, because we would not spend that amount of money on that vehicle. I understand your point and choose to disagree with you re: price, simply because if there wasn't a market for it @ that price point, it wouldn't exist. The only way you would get one of the MH's you referred to, is to buy it in Europe and you have it shipped to the US.
I went back and looked and you are right. mis aligned drawers seems out of place in a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar RV. Multiply by ten and you can't help but laugh in their general direction. Scam boys working the rube.
shebaz khan It does but what's the advantage if lifetime all these people is already 70 or more years old that's why you need not to waste younger years so you can retire at least at 50s
This is simply a big bus with some really bad quality interior.. Look up what kind of yacht you can buy for 2.5 million, the interior will be soooooo much better, and it floats!
Realistically it's worth like $500,000 , but it's like paying for a $120 designer shirt. You know you paid 5x as much but you did it for the self esteem boost.
Kyle Burdict: Go look at a video of a TT review or a fiver review by a salesmen, not a youtuber and they will use the same terms. Featherlight Vantare used to build and sell Yachts, so for them the terms are natural, but they have been using terms like galley and salon in the high end products for decades.
You can’t comprehend the income and lifestyle of someone who would spend this kind of money on an RV. You think in terms of compromising one thing for another. These buyers already have private land with a badass house on it, a yacht with a helicopter pad and one of their vacation houses has an exotic car in the garage that they’ve only driven once.
Rory Roberts. Then you buy a Bently or a RollsRoyce. Which (unlike RV's or custom tour busses, Which can reach and exceed the $3,000,000 mark). can fit in any mechanics bay.
Aries Might: It would be awfully foolish to take a Bentley to any mechanic's bay. All mechanic can't repair or analyze a problem with a Bentley or Lamborghini. Why would anyone take a Bentley to a garage mechanic, Oh I know why, he couldn't really afford the Bentley and it's upkeep in the 1st place. I can be insulting too.
John Prime Do you realize that people to whom these vehicles are oriented can afford much more than that? It's not like all they have is that 2.5 million dollars and have to make a choice, instead it'd be for them as is for you choosing between a PS4 or any other stuff
I would stay clear of such a company. No way is this RV worth anything near 2.4 million. Cheap LED lighting hence the flicker/strobing effect on camera. The fit, finish and features are really nothing special. It looks very poorly coordinated, dated and very cheap in places. You can see much more luxurious RV's on youtube at this price and for much less.
It’s actually dud to the speed of the camera’s shutter. This was probably shot on a dslr. If the shutter wasn’t set to the proper setting it will cause flickering from different lights.
energymaven , I totally agree with you. I actually prefer something simpler and with less technology, as there is less to maintain should it break down. Also it is way overpriced for what is is. Perhaps $1.2 million would be a more realistic price, but even that is rather ridiculous! My Mercedes when parts break down, it takes ages to order it from overseas, and it is way overpriced as well. Simple is best!
But would you travel in it and then maintain such a thing, or would you just leave it parked at home? While a rig like that is nice and luxurious, I would be scared to even drive that thing off the property; imagine all the wear and tear, as well as the scratches it can get just from branches! Imagine all that can go wrong in the first year that you have to fix; it would be insanely expensive to upkeep! While it's nice to look at and dream about, maybe it's not that practicable. A cheaper rig would give you basically the same trouble, but (hopefully) won't be as expensive to fix and maintain!
tootsie girl I know. I would think it would make the floors really dirty from people's feet. But, it's easier to clean and disinfect the floors rather than getting rid of scuffs from shoes
The only thing about that coach is that it has 3 axles, so you can only do 55mph in California because California law only allows vehicles with 3 or more axles to do 55mph
It's crazy cause this thing is worth more than a REALLY nice big house that's 50x the size of the rv and at the same time you run the risk of getting into a car accident in this thing
Luxury is one thing but practicality is another. And I understand that if your wealthy and money is no object you can have this and more. You could redesign that entire interior for comfort and practicality to fit 6 people easily and a little more in terms of sleeping arrangements.
For those who said the inside wasn't that impressive I think he did say it can be customised so at least you can have it set up however you want it done.
Bonkers! I've seen a double decker coach done up to look that good for less than €80k on you RUclips! What's with all the televisions as well?! Surely the purpose is to get away with family and travel whilst looking out the windows and exploring new places, not turning your shower door opaque and watching dull old telly on a curvy screen! Bonkers!
I saw at least 10 Prevost bus conversions (different years, make and models) while I was in Alaska, docked in the same free docking areas I was in.... It is fully self-contained so yes you can. But Ifyou could afford this, would you want to boondock in it (wildcamp). No, But I'm not into camping anyway. I do it sometime, when I'm using an annual state park pass or when I go to Big Ben NP or a BLM area like Quartzite, not everyday. I like to admire nature, I don't want to live in it, I'm spoiled and I worked too hard to give up the amenities I can afford.......
Marathon builds the best coach you can buy, inventory ready to go or custom order, very nice, I would opt for the tile or hardwood floor throughout though I wouldn't want any carpet, the floors are heated
How the heck is this 2.5 million dollars, literally just buy a mansion (not in L.A) they have multiple floors, a oven not a microwave oven. This barely gives u space, such a small R.V
My neighbor has a 250k one and is nicer and a bigger fridge and bedroom. Pretty much the same really. I looked it up online and that was the price. New.
After seeing this, I am really happy with my Cabin A Expedition, bought used for a lot less, 77 sq feet of interior space and towing with a Ranger. Way better use of space and a lot easier to get around in.
greetings from South Africa, my name is William and I'm on my way to owning one of these RV unit soon. I just subscribe to your RUclips Channel, in order to keep up with the latest design and in conclusion let me thank you for your survices and God bless.
C'mon, folks - think about it like a house. REAL tile floor? SAMSUNG TV sets? Fridge with TWO freezers? KING size bed? INSTANT hot water? I've lived in
Chipper 77 lmfao dead 💀
Chipper 77 haha 🤣
Chipper 77 you still have to license it insurance it's a waste of money
Clipper77: It's a waste of money, because you like me don't have millions of dollars in disposable income.......
Chipper 77 😂😂😂 that comment killed me 💀
This is not worth the 2.5 million at all.
I bet the tile floor alone was at least $100,000, with radiant heat and flooring reinforcements.
Not even close.
b1rch3ll when comparing to the competitors it definitely is not worth the 2.5.
You can build your own for 300k max if u buy all from retail not even from factories this RV looks nothing expensive
how much would you pay for it
Only way anyone should consider buying this RV is if it had 2.2 million in cash hidden in the walls.
Lol nice one
😂😂😂😂😂
Grinder M exactly! There probably pocketing a million in profit! Doesn’t look that great to me just a bunch of cheap bling on a high end bus
Or if you are a famous artist that do tours around the world.
The only way that RV would be worth $2.5 million dollars is if those cabinets contained literally $2.5 million dollars.
I agree...Ive definitely seen better😒
How much is a decent/good rv?
@@Justina03 idk...everything looks high quality
Yeah it does look high quality, that's why it cost so much. I could do without the fancy cabinets and floors and put that money towards an outside grilling area and things like that.
Way overpriced. 😆
Who would’ve thought 2,500,000$ would get you a neat little spinning table. How clever
Roulette, anyone?
This RV companies really need to update their design. this looks like a strip club from the 80s... get some skandinavisn designer
They go with their market. People who pay that amount of money for something they could get same quality at 1/4 the price . They don't care about good design. All they want is flashy.

Like Ikea and Volvo
😂😭😭
The bus I am sure is great, but to me I felt like they made it far to gaudy. Place looked like a cheap casino somewhere. All it was missing was a couple of pink flamingos stuck in the grass near the front door.
It is meant for the 'newly rich' who need to flaunt what they have so that no one realizes that most of what they have is stolen.
Rider4Life that's precisely my thoughts - what a cheap lookin bus.
Real nice but not worth that much imo.
J agree with you
tax is a bummer ey? :)
I'll wait a couple of years and it will be 1/3d less. that's crazy money for an RV. I would rather buy a nice home with land.
It isn’t made for poor people, someone who buys this already has a few houses at least. They don’t even have to worry about money, just buy what they like.

bumble bees it will not be 50k 😂😂😂 try 150k at least
Don’t think I could sleep knowing the depreciation that’s happening!
Literally not worth 2.5 million unless it’s self driving, a smart RV home and turns into a boat-home when on water. Plus the interior tacky af. Nope.
Driving an RV is half the fun. I wouldn't want a self-driving rig.
This coach would need to include the services of a driver/concierge/valet/janitor/maintenance technician before I would consider such a purchase. You pay that kind of dough and still have to get out and get under to empty the holding tanks. No thanks!
And, for the money, you should be able to push a button, it stands up on it's end and shoots you off into space for a day trip.
So, in other words, The Wild Thornberry's ComVee
But....if they are selling them at 2.5 million and continuing to do so...they are obviously worth 2.5 million to someone.
Let's buy a 2.5 million dollar bus instead of a house, said no one ever
Solrachigh: People everyday purchase all classes of RV's from Travel Trailers to Class A motorhomes to live and travel in. Some purchase used rigs and update them or customize them to their needs and desires. Some even sell their bricks and sticks homes and commit to living full time in their rigs and are quite happy.

SOLRACHIGH if I had 2.5 mil I would spend it on this because it’s all you need in a house if you are 1 or even 2 person this is great for it... and you can take it wherever you go
I value it at around $750,000
also, movie stars may use it for a trailer, or musicians for their tour bus.
Its nice, very nice but not 2.5 million dollars nice. And yeah deciding to live in an RV full time is fine but to spend that much on it if you didn't already own a house is ludicrous. I don't honesty see myself ever buying a house for 2.5 million let alone an RV.

This will be worth 500k in just on year!!
(Pawn Stars) Rick Harrison: Yeah thats not gonna happen, I’ll give you 5 bucks for it.
So very sad but so very true. I've never seen one that was 2.5 originally so I've never seen one being resold. But I have seen ones that were $375k when new sale for $80k when their only 3yrs old. And one's that were $irk new get 2 or 3 years on them and sale for $15k. So I'm guessing at 2.5 new that your going to get $750k for it when your sell it in 3 or 4 years.
Go by some bad as vacation property / home for a millio and in about 8yrs sell it for 3 million.
Hello hello hello !!!! Yep serious investment
Not half a mil.
Well it's meant for people who don't care soo
YIKE.....The thought of the shower door, reverting back to clear glass, with you inside......
exposing all your floppy bits in full view. 😮.. 😂
"pivots for ease of in and out" unless you're sitting next to the one getting in and out and that pivoting table pushes you into the back cushion.
Why is this in my recommendation? And because I watched the whole video lol RUclips’s gonna bombard me with more.
I have to admit, that 2.5 million dollar RV was underwhelming honestly. Odd setup, I thought that kind of money would get you a mansion on wheels
Rick M I thought the same thing. I thought that much money would give you more. It's still an RV. Not worth the money. Best thing about this RV is they paint job on the outside.
It should these guys are trying to RIP you off that's a nice RV but heated floors and and a 5 foot samsung TV isnt 2.5
its more like 250k than 2.5 million
It seem small and didn’t do much for $2.5. I’d pay like $500,000 for it.
Vintage bus inglesi transformation in camper
I don't see ANYTHING that makes me want to buy it
It really only fits a family of two comfortably....I can get one that better suits my family of five needs for 20k way better than spending 2.5 million

gphillimo seriously. This is hilarious.
Not a chance you will find a 45ft prevost chassis under a new 150k RV. The chassis alone is more than that.
I've soon running rv buses for 10k on letgo craiglist
And you can get 1 mile per gallon! Amazing!
Why is it, the more an rv costs, the tackier and cheesier it looks?
These bus conversions are custom built, which means built to the tastes of whoever is paying for it. I hope you win the Lotto and order one so everyone can critisize your tastes
Rory Roberts glad we agree it's hideous
+Rory Roberts Don't you put that evil on him!!
That's not an evil, wait until I put my voodoo spell on him.......
Rory Roberts But that doesn't negate his comment. Isn't a coincidence that most of them look like tacky chinese buffets, they only thing missing is the catfish water tank and the stack of plates.
could the table move any slower
It pivots
That will cost you an extra $1M only.
For 2.5 mil my table and the drinks on them stay put.
make less noise haha
And louder
for 2.5 million i would expect a water tank with a dolphin in it!
2.5 million and he's pointing out that the first bathroom,hall way and storage cupboard have sliding doors which makes it look like an extra roomy space! This is how poor this design layout is! It's like some school children designed it! I've seen better designs with clever layouts for way way less! Imagine the depreatiation on this after 12 months!
Wait a few weeks. The depreciation will Mack it so you can afford two dolphins
Way too much money for what you get!! Give me a Tiffin or Newmar just as nice for $400,000.
You got a deal! Dolphin in the water tank will be there.
The irony is that anyone who is able to afford a 2.5 mil RV, probably doesn’t have any time to spend in it.
i can buy it for u😂😂
Mostly old retired couple buy this kind of stuff, they worked their whole life and at end they get a comfy retirement.
Anousha I buy you one
Thats the best comment on this topic IMHO. I was thinking the same thing. If I were able to afford it, would I be spending sufficient time in it??? Ofcourse not.

While it is very nice , what's not nice is the FACT that it only costs about $400,000 to build! Rest is profit. Not worth it!
Sorry but the value drops by $2 million as soon as it leaves the lot.
It is like the one million dollar laptop on Ebay. They only need to sell one to make the company profitable.
I've been to their factory. Trust me, it costs a lot more than $400K to build. A custom coach can take 10 months or more to build.
prevost shell is 1,000,000 empty
sorry but that shell alone costs the company 700,000$, the x3 slightly less. like previously stated it takes about 10 months to build with about 200 employees working on it and truly the finest materials going into that shell.

truckindawg1 Maybe the salesman gets $2 Mill commission. He'd deserve it if he managed to sell one for $2.5 Mill.
Oh yeah the Samsung tvs increases the value right.
I've got three at home so is that going to increase the value of my house
Nasir Uddin well yes you can rent out the furniture and other stuff to the people that move in if you sell the house
Nasir Uddin yes! I’ll take it for 5mil
TALK LG OLED'S THEN I'M IMPRESSED.
Nasir Uddin no, but a table that moves slower than a wounded tortoise would greatly increase your home value.
Three?! House is worth at least $2 million just in TVs alone :D
so 2.5 mill and you only get an over-glorified one bed bus... 2.5 not only it wont come with a small car in it's belly, but the table motor is so loud like a garden water pump.
Simon Gabor: and how much do you think the European bus conversion on a Mercedes Benz chasis you are referring to costs. I know you are intelligent enough to know that it costs even more, and then you have to ship it and the car to the US from Germany.......
There is an MB assembly factory in the US, so I doubt they're shipping them anymore. But Sir you kinda missing the point, where I'm only pointing out on the crazy price tag, and the big nothing you get for it. And I know your intelligent enough to know that I'm right.
Simon Gabor: The MB plant here in America Builds SUV's and certain MB cars. You referred to the MH based on a MB chasis, not built here in the US. That particular MH is narrower and much taller then the MH's built here. One because of the garage underneath it, and the width of many of the European roads. As I pointed out before, the cost of the Empty shell from Prevost (since they have no competition) is $750K for the H3 and slightly less for the X3. But the entire chasis and frame is built of steel not like the gas coaches built here with an aluminum frame welded to the chasis and finished with plywood covered by fiberglass. The reason for that is to keep the price point as cheap as possible. Take a tour of the plants that build bus conversions, and you will see it can take 8 mos. to build a single coach, lots of employees with skills in painting, electrical, tiling, carpentry, carpet laying, and all of the specialty tools, and facilities necessary. This is a big cog in our economy. We are looking @ the price point from a worker bee's point of view, because we would not spend that amount of money on that vehicle. I understand your point and choose to disagree with you re: price, simply because if there wasn't a market for it @ that price point, it wouldn't exist. The only way you would get one of the MH's you referred to, is to buy it in Europe and you have it shipped to the US.
For that much money i expected the RV drive it self like Tesla autopilot
That bus reminds me of all the hotels I’ve been to growing up. With the lights and all
The INSTANT hot water really sells it, I'll take 20
2.5 mil and they can't even get the drawer fronts lined up properly in the kitchen?
I went back and looked and you are right. mis aligned drawers seems out of place in a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar RV. Multiply by ten and you can't help but laugh in their general direction. Scam boys working the rube.
Good eye, I'm a cabinet maker and didn't notice
If it comes with lifetime time fuel and free service than its worth to 2.5 million.
shebaz khan not even. This pos could max at 300k if I’m buying it. I better get 2 million $ worth of fuel?
shebaz khan i
*then
Isaac Griffin ..you've described yourself you demonic foolish animal!! ..disgusting imbecile!!
shebaz khan It does but what's the advantage if lifetime all these people is already 70 or more years old that's why you need not to waste younger years so you can retire at least at 50s
This is simply a big bus with some really bad quality interior.. Look up what kind of yacht you can buy for 2.5 million, the interior will be soooooo much better, and it floats!
Yep, I had a buddy with a 65 foot Hinkley sloop. It put these RV ’s to shame. And it was cheaper. And got infinite miles to the gallon.
@@RVTraveler Mark: Yes but can you get a boat with gawdy red neon lights around the ceiling. This RV is gross.
Buy it. Drive it off the lot, around the corner come back and the price is now about 1.5 M (if you can get that)!
Realistically it's worth like $500,000 , but it's like paying for a $120 designer shirt. You know you paid 5x as much but you did it for the self esteem boost.
The bare shell costs more than 500k....so, no, that's not "realistically", sorry.
That interior was awful.
i just wanted to post same comment, they should fire interior designer.
I don’t like the interior either
I would buy an Entegra!
Electric fireplace......tacky..
Even the space
2.5 million for some leather seats and flat screens? Smh
Oh you didn’t see the nuclear power plant in the storage? More seriously though... you saying that convection oven ain’t worth six figures? :)
But its Samsung tvs
Yeah it's because it is American :P they simply just do not know how to make something luxury imo.
Unlike a house that appreciates in value, these buses will depreciate in value. The price of that bus will be less than half after 3 years.
if anything like a new car then it would the moment you take it off the lot crazy
"What an amazing value!" said no one ever...
Love how they use all the yachting/marine terms to sort of justify the price tag
Travel trailer salesmen call the living area a Salon, and the kitchen a galley, you are nitpicking now.....
Rory Roberts no they don't..
Kyle Burdict: Go look at a video of a TT review or a fiver review by a salesmen, not a youtuber and they will use the same terms. Featherlight Vantare used to build and sell Yachts, so for them the terms are natural, but they have been using terms like galley and salon in the high end products for decades.
Actually they do, they also call a room in the center of the coach "mid ship". You obviously are not familiar with rving.
The Samsung tv's sold me on that 2.5 million dollar rv.....lol
$2.5 mil? I could buy private land and custom build my house the way I want it done. Oh and build my bomb shelter too
But you couldn't take your house down a highway at 80mph.
S H
Why would you want to take an av up to 80 mph omg.
You can’t comprehend the income and lifestyle of someone who would spend this kind of money on an RV. You think in terms of compromising one thing for another. These buyers already have private land with a badass house on it, a yacht with a helicopter pad and one of their vacation houses has an exotic car in the garage that they’ve only driven once.
MuffinMan0521
I'd settle for just being able to afford my repairs on my house.
Timothy Avendt; You have apparently never been blown off the highway by one of these behemoths. They can go 80 mph all day.
I understand 400k but I didn't see anything worth 2 mill in there.
Never
11Malice25 well you didn’t see the black hole to a HOLE new reality all for you!
My first impression was that of a brothel waiting room. I delivered alcohol, its true.
Why buy that when I can get a Full house plus like 3 Lamborghinis lol
It depends on your personal needs and desires.. you want a house and sports cars, some want a mansion on wheels.....
Rory Roberts. Then you buy a Bently or a RollsRoyce. Which (unlike RV's or custom tour busses, Which can reach and exceed the $3,000,000 mark). can fit in any mechanics bay.
Aries Might: It would be awfully foolish to take a Bentley to any mechanic's bay. All mechanic can't repair or analyze a problem with a Bentley or Lamborghini. Why would anyone take a Bentley to a garage mechanic, Oh I know why, he couldn't really afford the Bentley and it's upkeep in the 1st place. I can be insulting too.
John Prime Do you realize that people to whom these vehicles are oriented can afford much more than that? It's not like all they have is that 2.5 million dollars and have to make a choice, instead it'd be for them as is for you choosing between a PS4 or any other stuff
People who buy these, already have several houses and multiple vehicle.
I would stay clear of such a company. No way is this RV worth anything near 2.4 million. Cheap LED lighting hence the flicker/strobing effect on camera. The fit, finish and features are really nothing special. It looks very poorly coordinated, dated and very cheap in places. You can see much more luxurious RV's on youtube at this price and for much less.
oceancolours I was thinking the same thing! Why was the LED's flickering ? The human eye can't see it but the video camera will!
It’s actually dud to the speed of the camera’s shutter. This was probably shot on a dslr. If the shutter wasn’t set to the proper setting it will cause flickering from different lights.
Due*
Gotta speed up the shutter speed gotta break the 180 degree rule on these lights
YOU CAN EDIT YOUR POSTS IF NEED BE, THERE'S A HIDDEN ICON TO THE RIGHT.
No amount of money would make me want one of those.
I concur!
energymaven , I totally agree with you. I actually prefer something simpler and with less technology, as there is less to maintain should it break down. Also it is way overpriced for what is is. Perhaps $1.2 million would be a more realistic price, but even that is rather ridiculous! My Mercedes when parts break down, it takes ages to order it from overseas, and it is way overpriced as well. Simple is best!
I'd rather have solar panels, and the ability to go off grid, than marble floors.
4x4 off road van :)
But would you travel in it and then maintain such a thing, or would you just leave it parked at home? While a rig like that is nice and luxurious, I would be scared to even drive that thing off the property; imagine all the wear and tear, as well as the scratches it can get just from branches! Imagine all that can go wrong in the first year that you have to fix; it would be insanely expensive to upkeep! While it's nice to look at and dream about, maybe it's not that practicable. A cheaper rig would give you basically the same trouble, but (hopefully) won't be as expensive to fix and maintain!
I rather buy a nice house with acres of land inground olympic size swimming pool
Happiness is being grateful and content with whatever God has given you, and I am, thank you Lord.
God don't give you anything you work for it.
everyone take their shoes off except for the salesman?
tootsie girl heated floors
tootsie girl I know. I would think it would make the floors really dirty from people's feet. But, it's easier to clean and disinfect the floors rather than getting rid of scuffs from shoes
That salesman seemed very shady. His eyes were all Shifty.
Steve McIntosh maybe because he is being filmed and normal people get uncomfortable when being filmed by strangers.
Steve McIntosh lol
Steve McIntosh maybe drugs
Adderall
That's because he knows the RV isn't worth it.
Total waste of money
They make viewers take off their shoes but the salesman keeps his shoes on!
Chris Cross buffed and polished leather soles....with chiffon liners.
The only thing about that coach is that it has 3 axles, so you can only do 55mph in California because California law only allows vehicles with 3 or more axles to do 55mph
$2.5 mil and it's gaudy. All it needs is a few paintings of Elvis on black velvet. I pity the fool(s) who buy this dinosaur.
More money than sense probably never had to worry about a penny in their lives and I couldn't care less
But mr. T !! 😮
If I was considering spending that much on an RV, I'd expect the sales guy to be dressed a little smarter.
DonaId Trump I can tell from your name he is smarter than you.
Nice, but not 2.5 Million nice
DonaId Trump can I have a small loan of 2.5 million
The flashing fluorescent lights were making me sick to my stomach to watch this.
Paul Newman bought a used Prevost and had it upgraded to his tastes, THAT'S smart use of one's money!
That door you can go both in and out sounds pretty special.
i have some spare change in my pocket today, thinking about picking one up
looks like a vegas showgirls' dressing room
Wrunmuklf🚔✈️🤬😀😃😄😁😆🦒🤣🍕🥵😨🍔🍟😂🍗🤢🍔🍗🥩
With that money you can travel the world in first class and stay in a nice hotels, I'm sure u can go further with airplanes lol
I appreciate there is an older couple making videos, but also quality videos! Love the information, great content! Keep up the good work!
It's crazy cause this thing is worth more than a REALLY nice big house that's 50x the size of the rv and at the same time you run the risk of getting into a car accident in this thing
Shirt closet door dropped when it was opened, got to take 100k off for shoddyness
Not seeing 2.4 in value nor design.
BorisandChromeLuxx it has red track lighting, which screams ZZ Top. The primary demo for these things are 80 year old billionaires, so it’s a bit odd.
This is good for musician/singers that travels a lot in the state of course not for reg people.
Jannah perkins Tour busses don't even run that much! Especially if you have to put in ten bunk beds for everyone!
We have 2004 Winnebago Vectra. Sure it isn’t as fancy as this one but we love it. Double slide in the living room is very nice.
To be honest . . . . one doesn't get much for $2.5 mil these days!
Youll get alot if you buy a home with that kind of money. Never depreciating the value of a house.
Youll get alot if you buy a home with that kind of money. Never depreciating the value of a house.
Omg.... 500k seems pricey and they want 2.5mil... I’d spend it elsewhere
Or u can invest in some real estate and never have to work again !
Josef: dream on baby, dream on...
You really think that investing in real estate is labor free? I have a feeling you don't have any type of investments yourself.
Josef yah but expect it's isn't easy as you think
2.5 million. Really😒
really? A normal home is 1.5 million and a nice home is more than 3 million in my city.
Gaudy.....extravagantly bright or showy, typically so as to be tasteless.
Luxury is one thing but practicality is another. And I understand that if your wealthy and money is no object you can have this and more. You could redesign that entire interior for comfort and practicality to fit 6 people easily and a little more in terms of sleeping arrangements.
For those who said the inside wasn't that impressive I think he did say it can be customised so at least you can have it set up however you want it done.
Great ipad you have there, lol
Not worth the 2.4MIL. Not impressive at all.
Bonkers! I've seen a double decker coach done up to look that good for less than €80k on you RUclips! What's with all the televisions as well?! Surely the purpose is to get away with family and travel whilst looking out the windows and exploring new places, not turning your shower door opaque and watching dull old telly on a curvy screen! Bonkers!
This rv is beautiful.. I’d road trip forever in this!
I can definitely see an actor or musician buying this. As for me, I'm po so just day dreaming 😋
$799K tops. What old phuuuul would pay more? BTW, hate the pink LED roof lights, looks like a Nevada Chicken Farm (wink)!
OK, but can you boondock in it? LOL. (AKA Jan Mathews)
You'd sure need a big spot!
I saw at least 10 Prevost bus conversions (different years, make and models) while I was in Alaska, docked in the same free docking areas I was in.... It is fully self-contained so yes you can. But Ifyou could afford this, would you want to boondock in it (wildcamp). No, But I'm not into camping anyway. I do it sometime, when I'm using an annual state park pass or when I go to Big Ben NP or a BLM area like Quartzite, not everyday. I like to admire nature, I don't want to live in it, I'm spoiled and I worked too hard to give up the amenities I can afford.......
Marathon builds the best coach you can buy, inventory ready to go or custom order, very nice, I would opt for the tile or hardwood floor throughout though I wouldn't want any carpet, the floors are heated
What part or assembly of parts is/are costing the two million portion of the price?
What makes them worth millions of dollars? You still gotta plug into a septic. You still need to get fuel and water.
That'd be the instant water heater silly.
James Drew they're could've at least been an atmospheric water generator to make it seem worthy of a million dollars.
sub222marathon more like somebody's too rich to know what to do with their money.
crazzylee - It comes with an English accented butler who dose all that.
I can see the appeal but i would rather just buy a house, furnish it and buy a Lamborghini or two with that money. Even then it wouldn't be $2.5m
Everybody bases their opinion on their personal wants and needs, why is it it silly, because we can't afford it?
2.5 mil and it looks totally garish.
Mike, I don't think I've ever saw you speechless like you were in that 2.5 million coach, !!!!
Don’t see 2.5 million worth of R V
How the heck is this 2.5 million dollars, literally just buy a mansion (not in L.A) they have multiple floors, a oven not a microwave oven. This barely gives u space, such a small R.V
My neighbor has a 250k one and is nicer and a bigger fridge and bedroom. Pretty much the same really. I looked it up online and that was the price. New.
When it comes to greed the sky's the limit.
After seeing this, I am really happy with my Cabin A Expedition, bought used for a lot less, 77 sq feet of interior space and towing with a Ranger. Way better use of space and a lot easier to get around in.
greetings from South Africa, my name is William and I'm on my way to owning one of these RV unit soon. I just subscribe to your RUclips Channel, in order to keep up with the latest design and in conclusion let me thank you for your survices and God bless.
Is anyone going to mention how awful it would be to total that thing in an accident??
lets vlog if u mean money wise there is insurance
Carter Anderson
No washer and dryer with that price, lol!
Brandon West where would it go?
Proper waffle
'uhhhh i like this cabinet cuz ummm it easy to get changed around'
Could buy similar build for 4ook and just saved myself 2.1 mil to buy some land and build a stunning house!!
Come on people, as they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Where is the maids quarters??? On the roof? Lol
