"Looks" being the operative word $137,000 Base Weight 2,300 lbs GVWR 3,000 lbs Man - I guess $200 a night hotel rooms don't seem as luxurious to some as they do to me, but that's a LOT of nights at $200 a night... and you don't have to tow anything. Hmmm...
*insert witty remark here*

I've had my fill of motels, luxurious, cheap, or otherwise. When traveling on interstates I stay usually at one of the big truck stops, most encourage overnight RV parking. RVing tho is more about getting away from that world and where you can get to. I picked up a '69 Tradewind 24 "barn find" like this one awhile back, unrestored but original in and out and completely functional. Just needs some sprucing up here and there and interior clean-up. For a wee fraction of what that Bowlus costs : ) The 50's and 60's Airstream are becoming increasingly more desirable (and valuable) because they're so light and easy to tow.  The Bowlus is cool though and has some innovative features, the cassette toilet, in/out shower, fits in some garages, and center front door for a more efficient interior layout. It'll have a limited (and possibly viable) market at the stratosphere price though.

Yes, there's always that, it'll do : ) Careful what you wish for, it's not quite like the one above.. Here's the old girl at the moment, planning on at least shampoo the carpet if not new flooring entirely (paging RichardD). New upholstery, maybe curtains, repair a couple cabinet doors, some trim redo and a little elbow grease. After the inside should be able to decide how far to go with the outside (to polish or not to polish). Main thing is it tows great, is solid, all there, and the A/C works, thank goodness : )
