RVs for the Rich & Famous
Part I looked at high tech camping vans for ordinary
mortals. Celebs have different and surprisingly varied tastes, but share
a love of gadgetry. Jamie Oliver is probably the highest profile home
grown UK media favourite who used a camper for his book tour launch, but his
fame and vehicle can’t compete with some of the more extravagant American
celebrity adherents. Vin Diesel has what can only be described as a
mansion on wheels with a sunroof that automatically changes to suit the light
levels. Colin Farrell has a classic Airstream that he uses
when he’s filming in the USA and Pamela Anderson had her motorhome fitted out
with a vibrating bed and stripper pole.High- tech goes bananas when you enter the realms of mobile palaces for the super rich. Here it’s gizmos and gadgetry that dominate. Aside from the obvious gold plated fittings, flat screen satellite TVs the size of the IMAX, lightning fast broadband, living, sleeping and dining accommodations that would make the Ritz seem like a tawdry Travelodge as standard, you can also get an extra set of wheels. The VARIOmobil 1200 Platinum comes complete with three axles to handle its 25 tons gross weight thrown down the road by the equivalent of 420 horsepower and gives you an integrated garage for a Mini Cabriolet to boot – or rather where the boot would normally be!
