IMHO - disgusting excess. YMMV

All that is lacking is a garage where I can park MY trailer.

Thanks for sharing Gene,I thought it was fun to watch.

Oh come on now I know that I am not the only one that got at least ONE mod idea from watching this!

I subscribe to trailer life. I get to see this kind of nonsense every month! After a while I just say so what? Another big expensive RV. You either have to be rich or thrive on living in debt slavery. Thats what makes eggs so unique. They are proof you don't need a rolling mansion to have a great life.

I did watch it and while I don't want something that large, I can appreciate the workmanship and custom details in it.

[Richard Hayes]

Gross!

The hostess said that it is a work-site, and in another online video it was shown being used at a filming location. She also stated that it replaces 7 standard movie production trailers. That conservation of real estate on a location shoot is smart business. It is part of the "overhead" in making movies.

While I haven't met Mr. Smith, I have had the experience of working as an "extra" in a movie production, and I don't begrudge him this tool in his occupation.

I agree Lynn!



Have seen many of these over the years, and though not the way I prefer, nor can afford to roll I find them beautiful rv's. Frankly though we all love our lil eggs, they are not the only rv ever created! I honeslty appreciate most and the lifestyle they offer!

As I was growing up and even into adult hood my brothers best friend was a country music star.He spent many days/weeks/months on the road touring and making a living.one of his great joys was being able to have a trailer special built for him & his band to travel in...his other even greater joy was having one built for him,his wife and little girl to travel in.At the time lots of people that knew him as he was growing up thought he was being a foolish show off.He wasn't he was using what he had to do to keep his family and job all together and try to enjoy what we call a normal life.I miss my friend to this day,I still get to hear his music and sometimes see/hear his kid sing his music too.I wish that he had been able to have a home on wheels like that and I am glad for those that do.

Would i want or need anything even close NO Way no how....but then I go camping or RVing if you like that word better... IMHO - disgusting excess....but then again I don't live or work in my camper it is just for fun or a place to live while I have fun. So once again I put my foot on my mouth and said to much about myself. I still say it has some neat stuff and I would be willing to bet that at least one other person saw something they would like to be able to "Mod" into their camper.

THANKS for sharing with all of us..it was fun to watch.

Since he uses it for business, it is probably all deductible as a business expense!
But think of the upkeep.

[Sue and Henry]

Very nice! ....but I didn't see that little space for the porta-potti. Maybe I just missed it.

It very often does make sense, from a business standpoint to consolidate several smaller operations into one. Here is an example, in the late 80's/early 90's my son and I were involved in racing off road motorcycles. I knew some of the people in the industry ( Kawasaki ) and at the time, their factory sponsored team was using as many as four smaller one ton box vans to haul their team equipment. They then switched to a custom built 18 wheeler which held everything they needed. It was actually cheaper overall since they had to only buy fuel for one truck, and pay the wages and per diem for just one driver.

Look behind the scenes sometime at the support structure for a traveling rock band or similar. Pretty common for them to have a dozen or so 18 wheelers. How'd you like to pay their fuel bill ?!

Personally, I thought the Will Smith trailer is awesome. Don't care one bit for him....but the trailer is cool.
