Nothing special when you see some of the "rigs" this weekend at Malvern..
However, not for me.. To big and to greedy.. BUT someone loves them and lets face it if you have loads and loads of cash you could have one just to use on the odd weekend.

Yes far too big. I like being able to use (almost) any road and any campsite /aire.

I've seen a couple of 45 footers on the road. (5ft over the legal limit I believe) . Great when they are on site, but often a scary ride to get there. 
Its width that is the killer though and both vans in the OP are a lot narrower than mine

That's a hell of a thing!!!
I like it though, because it pushed the boundaries in peoples minds
.
I'm still waiting for a bendy-bus conversion

We did 6 months around Europe in a sub-6m van. One of the only issues was returning to sites (particularly sardined city sites) and panicking because we can't see the van! It was always hidden behind a far bigger moho.

RE bottom pic: I wonder how many lockers they open before they find what they're looking for ? ?
Never seen so many.

If you have a truck that size, you'd be pretty miffed if you've left something in an outside locker and retrieval means your gonna get wet in the rain.

If you've shelled out £xxx,000, I doubt you care about diesel costs.

Our first trip to France, we were with a Caravan Club thingee. We had parked up and were enjoying a cuppa, when this huge RV pulled in across the track from us.
A young fella got out, with a remote, zzzzzt down came the auto levelers, zzzzt , up comes the Sat dish and twirled around a bit till locked on, zzzzt Blinds were drawn, zzzzt out rolled the awning.
I must admit, me with my G reg Pilote760 A class was gobsmacked!
I went over and said "Mate that's some piece of kit you have there!"
Any way we got talking , and over the week we were there we had a yarn or three, and he seemed, well I thought so anyway, a dinkum fella.
On our last day we were packing up, he came across and thanked us, for taking the time to "talk to him" he said "not many people talk to him on sites he has been to" they seem to avoid him.

About 5yrs ago when wintering in Spain, I saw this rig at Marjal. It's been back there since. It was the first time I clapped eyes on a Centurion and mighty impressive it was too.
The number plate was the word - FREEDOM. Apparently you can have any plate you like in Belgium as long as it's not offensive.
The rear garage contained a new Honda Goldwing and the trailer a new Ferrari FF.
The battery pack weighed best part of 800 kilos!
The compete rig was €1m.

Felt it was the same for first fella, as such a big thing. People were intrigued but left it at that. However, gotta say he cast shadows over the tent he pulled up next too.Our first trip to France, we were with a Caravan Club thingee.
