I wonder if a certain Mr Tomlinson has his name down for one.
Dunno if it's new or not but someone should have cleaned the sliding floor carpet.

Overblown, unnecessary and expensive bling.
The guy spent more time talking about the ridiculous sports car and it's garage than anything else.
Boys and toys, boys and toys...
The build quality does appear to be high, at least for the cabinetry (as far as you can tell from a video) - but otherwise...?
And the oven/microwave? Sorry to be sexist, folks, but only a man would be daft enough to design a cooking set up like that. Or maybe a woman who just likes the look of it but hasn't the slightest intention of actually using it!
Obviously an oven designed to be operated by 'servants', or the 'little woman'. It's one of those daft (dangerous?) 'design'(!) features where you have to reach up high to open the door when cooking - even worse: it opens from the top down, not from the side, making it even more awkward to lift your *scalding hot* food in/out
Interesting watch. Thanks but no thanks.
If given one, I would instantly get shot of it and spend the loads-a-dosh on something a helluva lot more practical - and have a fortune left in loose change!

There is an American RV Brand - Newell - who make some georgeous 'coaches' and, IMO, outdo anything available in Europe/UK or in the US from anyone else for that matter.
Andrew Steel (https://www.youtube.com/user/ansautodetail) does some very good walkthroughs of a whole variety of them.
Marie, high-mounted microwaves (or locations for optional microwaves) are very common with loads of Motorhomes and I agree can be quite tricky. The majority of Autotrails that have this feature (including mine) are like this and containers coming out of my microwave are head high and I would be especially wary if shorter than I am.
I guess you could say a modern version of the old-fashioned eye-level grill?

I normally dislike these mammoth RVs as they normally look like they have been kitted out for Donald Trumps garish taste but this one wasnt quite as bad. The car garage is pretty amazing though. Imagine driving that to the Alps and having a 911 to play with all day up the Stelvio Pass! Could even be more fun that the little honda scooter!
However. Lets face it, totally impractical for European touring and will probably spend its life being driven by film crew too and from locations for A list actors to use.
Can you imagine parking it on an Aire in France? If you could fit it on you would never get any privacy, everyone would be wanting to have a neb at it, take photos etc.

I've had many conversations with Newts when I've been drunk Nigel.
They were always sober enough to know to ignore me.

There are lots of things I would have expected for such a pricey, top of the range moho, Steve.
Barry is spot on for who would be using a rig like this.
Massive rip off, imho, and definitely no good for exploring the narrow back roads of the UK

Or Europe really. Does anyone remember Loddy from Motorhome Facts days of about ten years ago? He had a massive RV and we accidently met up on an Aire by lake Setton in Burgundy and had a night drinking together. This thing probably wasnt quite as big as that one but it still stuck out a mile on the Aire and people were either pissed of with it or constantly coming over to have a look at it. Just wouldnt work. I considered a tag for a while just to get the extra payload but I think even one of those at 8.5 metres would cause you some difficulties in Europe.

I really shouldn't watch those videos Now I can't get the idea of a mini-dishwater for the motorhome out my head!
This looks nifty - https://amzn.to/2ZXw3JU - for £230
One reviewer bought one for their Caravan
