Those drop down steps look like a lear jet.

Can you flip it over and use it like a boat? That is a great design. Now you can pour money into one unit instead of into a boat and also into a camper!
I mean, seriously, they put "Nautilus" on it...can't help but go there.

What a cool rig. But, that bedroom is definitely for a young couple who doesn't make many middle-of-the-night bathroom trips. I dont think I'd like climbing in and out of that bed.

Cool looking trailer, but I noticed there are no supports under that bed slide. I guess it can handle all that weight? Unless they are not folded down for the photo.

Anyone notice the $94K+ price tag. That's Super C or Class A territory.

I don't beleive that $94K is US dollars as this camper in in New South Wales I beleive by reading the web site. And veiwing pics the TV is a right hand drive.

There are supports under it, you just can't see them. Look between the kid and the back of the chair, with the red/white striped blanket. You'll notice a bit of silver. That is one of the supports. Follow the link to the website and you'll another shot of them plainly in view. It DEFINITELY needs the supports.
Of course, one of the PR shots is of a couple that looks like empty nesters. Not sure how much sliding in and out of that bed I'd be doing.

I saw the one support also. I was referring to the end, kind of sagging down a bit.

Well it is at the moment Aus $1.03/4 cent to the US Dollar. In other words it would be worth more in US dollars rather than cheaper. Why the high prices? . Several reasons: small production runs compared to the US , Australian High Dollar exchange rate and higher quality of the build. You do not get a "staple gun on the run" build quality, as anything like that would fall apart. For a small manufacturer they have to be a pretty solid build. US and European RV's have literally fallen to pieces after use here. I guess the economies of scale of a US built example would be say $30,000 dollars cheaper, if the quality of build was the same.
