Nice, think of all the possibilities. Just getting the thing titled would be a pain.

Good for a city bus but any thing over 45 foot is stupid for a motor home .

Very stylish! I like it.

A train... hmm... interesting. I wouldn't want to have to lay my own track though, nor ask the railroad for permission and scheduling every time I wanted to go somewhere, but that's a very interesting idea! :-)

As for anything over 45 feet... nah. I think 60 feet is GREAT. I love the feel of the thing going down the road... And I especially like the looks and turned heads I get as I pass EVERYONE else. Few people in my area have ever seen a 60 foot bus.

As for a rolling brothel... I actually thought of that!! :-)

An auto-leveling system on that would be a real challenge! (and is there such a thing as a 12-point U-turn?)

Tim: I would be willing to wager that this thing comes with a very explicit instruction of "don't drive this into a dead-end street. But just think, with a couple of more "trailers" you could encircle your own compound for the night.

LOL James! (what, 120 feet of bus ain't enough?)

Yeah, I'm more amused by the price tags on these... I paid $1,500 for my '84 40' Phantom and it looks similar rig go for ~$350K+! So I think I got the good end of the deal...
