and rving has been an essential part of the American Experience for over 100 years from the earliest Auto camper to the latest Mega RVs each generation adds fuel to the fire that drives the lifestyle Sparks Innovation and ignites The Passion of the RV [Music] nation in a plant just a few miles north of Eugene organ they're building some of the sexiest RVs in the world the 134,000 Ft complex sits on 17 acres and features 21 production stalls 4 65- ft paint booths and 27 service Bays this is the h
ome of the largest luxury bus converter and dealer on the planet right now and they're working on something that's truly extraordinary we've always built uh extreme RVs for the past 30 years uh we've been specializing in 100% custom coaches their output over three decades totals more than 1,200 Vehicles no two of which are exactly alike our goal when we started was build custom build according to what the customers wanted and build the best product that money could buy that's always been the Int
rigue and it's not for everybody that's for sure Prices range from 1.5 to $2.5 million the preo bus shell chassis alone cost a mighty half million bucks basically what you would see in a in a major travel coach that travels across the United States something that's real hardy made to go for miles and miles and miles 24 hours a day and then we converted into an RV their newest project is called the 1210 because it's their 1210 customization it's being built for a family of seven from Oklahoma whi
ch is a challenge as most RVs are built for families of four or five so we have five children you know trying to fit seven people inside of a small living space you realize the space really needs to be unique we said we have to have this this and this we made this list everything that you can dream up they'll build for you they wanted to bring their toys with them so they have purchased a triple axle trailer that's got a cargo lift in it they'll be painted to match this extreme RV is 45 ft long
and when you add the triple axle trailer it's 75 ft long for the design team the extensive client wish list feels like it's 75 ft long plans call for this Mega coach and trailer tandem unit to be tricked out with an assortment of high-tech Innovations a queen-sized Murphy bed that folds up to reveal a 50-in HD tv as one example a bunk bed that turns into a desk is another he has five bunks in this coach he wants the lower bunk to turn into a desk so he can work kind of a little office area or th

s moved to make room for it but before a single hand even touches the interior they dedicated more than a month to painting the exterior coach 1210 just got out of paint so right now what they're doing is masking off everything the guys really want to protect it and make sure that it makes it through to the end of the production cycle without a scratch during the month that the coach is in the spray booth the custom ceiling is being concurrently constructed so this one already has all of its duc
ting in place insulation all the wiring so basically now the coach has just arrived on the floor they're going to take this apart and start assembling it at the top of the bus since each coach is a one of kind every part has to fit like a puzzle piece uh in an order to where it all lines up and turns out the quality product that we make coming up get ready for an incredible light show there's over 20 different panels that are lit this way they will all change color together when RV Nation contin

x LED RGB lighting system is a major contributor to the extensive run of electrical wiring that's nearly 40% longer than most of their other luxury coaches there's so much much Electronics in this and so many things that can light up our Norm is maybe 5 miles of wiring this one's going to have closer to seven what you're seeing here is a custom illuminated cracked glass lighting panel that we have throughout the coach they're very low power consumption every single light in the coach and outside
our LED lights and they're just a lot lower power draw we're talking I think 80% of what our incandescent style lighting was and the bulb life a lot of the bulbs will last you know over 40,000 hours we've got over 300 ft of this this RGB Lighting in it so we've taken it to extremes using a state-of-the-art CNC routing machine lightings are forged from designer's original computer renderings right now we're cutting out the last mirror panels for the ceiling for 1210 we love to be unique so uh we
're going to push it no matter no matter what our customers come up with we're going to continue to push it pushing the envelope even further is this one-of aind Murphy bed this is the framework for the Murphy bed this is going to be in the slide out portion of the bedroom push of a button all electrically operated and this section will fold up on some actuators and when it folds up the underside shows a super siiz surprise when the main bed isn't being used it flips up as the Murphy bed underne
ath that bed is a large screen TV this will be the first time mounting a 55 in TV on the bottom of a of a bed an electric sofa provides a neat complement that nicely completes the package this is a electrically operated articulated sofa bed it's motivated with an electric actuator and pushing the button up and down customer has nothing to do but just hit a button as if that isn't cool enough each of the five bunk beds will have a personalized entertainment system for the kids all five bunks are
equipped with their own personal audio video system so they have little flip down TVs they have their own personal headset so they can each be watching something different as they want purchasing an extreme RV like this isn't for the faint of heart so it can cost you close to a grand to fill up the gas tank no surprise there this colossal 75- ft long coach is being built on a grand scale both inside and out it's a long way from finished but when it is this Mega RV is guaranteed to stop traffic c
oming up we'll go deep inside this incredible 75 ft custom coach and trailer combo and did we mention the $155,000 golf cart it will actually be painted to match both the trailer and the coach this and more surprises when RV Nation continues what is one of the most unique items featured at the RV motor hall Hall of Fame in Indiana was at a 1931 motor home that was presented to May West by Paramount Studios the oldest travel trailer in existence a one-of-a-kind 10-ft fully equipped air stream or

a touring vehicle vehicle for a race team this vehicle was made for entertaining and this Party Palace took its job so seriously it also pulled a trailer with a full-sized kitchen able to feed 125 people talk about a tailgate party everything still works uh the bulbs still work uh the laminate still looks gorgeous they were built to last the current model is called the 1210 it's the 120th custom coach Comm IED by an inventor from Oklahoma for his wife and five kids the family of seven requires
a lot of storage space and the custom Cabinet Shop is set to build everything they need and then some just when you thought you've seen it all this coach is equipped with a fireplace going to go up in the front Salon of the coach these are becoming more popular now that the electric fireplaces are looking more and more realistic every piece is complet completely custom made on site one of our major concerns was storage for five kids and husband and wife so instead of doing balance treatments we
added some storage cabinets over the overhead what really sets the 1210 apart from the pack is the matching 30ft long three axle trailer with a mini garage inside when connected to the coach the combined rig will measure a colossal 75 ft how's that for extreme it's got an air compressor all the lines already fed it's got sound system it's got workbenches a huge tool chest then on top of that you can pull in your car and then lift it up into the air and of course Park a second one underneath it b

coach Bays we're designing it in a way so that he can actually hook a cable up to it press a button and it will actually pull it right into the bay for him then he just puts the ramps away and to boot it will actually be painted to match both the Traer and the coach with the coach and trailer already painted attention shifts to the golf cart pinstripe has already been put down it's actually the first color that goes on and then they'll go ahead and actually line out the pin striping which is all
the blue tape right now that way when they paint the rest of it that pinstripe color will actually show through our Norm for doing a coach is around five or 600 hours this one was approaching 12200 hours that doesn't include what they're doing now that doesn't include the trailer that's just the coach this was probably one of the most intense jobs that the guys have worked on intensive and expensive if you come in off the street to buy one of these coaches you'll probably have to Shell out some
where between 1.4 and 2.4 million sure that's a big ticket enormous by most standards but on a fully customized High Caliber RV this extreme you get what you pay for coming up this customer Ed coach is about to light up this is one of the most complicated coaches we've ever built wow and you won't believe what else is in this family of seven stream on wheels that is the craziest shower ever when RV Nation returns which of the following Regional routes hits the most national parks along its path
