Awesome Rvs

In 1977, this unusual helicopter appeared on the cover of Popular Mechanics. To lure in high-end customers, Winnebago worked with a small aviation company to create the Heli-Home, a complete mobile home that could take to the skies. Calum has the full story behind this fascinating flying machine and the man behind its creation.

The fully-electric eStream Concept Travel Trailer boasts lots of features we’d like to see reach production someday: a solar panel roof and a high-voltage chassis featuring a battery-powered electric drivetrain for improved driving range. A remote control feature lets you move the trailer’s position after it’s unhitched.

Enes Yilmazer is known for touring some of the world’s most exclusive homes, yachts, and destinations. In fact, the $1.25 million Dembell motorhome is the least expensive item we can find on his channel. The Mercedes-based luxury RV is packed with technology and comfort, and even has a garage in back that can hold a Smart car.

The Hitch Hotel is a cargo box that doubles as a camping trailer, thanks to its wheel-less and expanding design. It weighs only 240 lb. and takes up only 16 sq.ft. when folded. But it gives you a 135 cu.ft. space when expanded.

Trailer Valet’s RVR is a remote-controlled machine that makes it easy to move and park a trailer. It can be controlled up to 40ft away with its mobile app and has durable caterpillar treads for all-terrain operation. It comes in 3,500lb, 5,500lb, and up to 9,000lb capacities.

A supersized version of EarthRoamer’s already formidable RV. The XV-HD is based on the Ford F-750. Aside from a more spacious living area, it also has a 115gal. gas tank, 250gal. water tank, a 2100W solar array and a self-charging 20kWh battery bank.

Based on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, the Revel is kitted out with solar-power, and a living space with a lift bed, bathroom, and kitchen. It has a 3-liter turbodiesel engine, on-demand 4WD with traction control, and optional performance wheels and all-terrain tires.

Based on the Ford F-550, the EarthRoamer XV-LT can accommodate up to eight people and has a durable one-piece molded composite body. It uses solar cells to power the modern amenities inside its roomy and elegant interior.

NAU’s zero emissions, all electric Ecco mobile home can be charged at standard 240V stations; in areas with no electricity, its built-in photovoltaic panels and solar sail roof charge directly from the sun.

The sleek Ketterer Continental motorhome is built on a Mercedes-Benz truck chassis and features lounge area, master bedroom with king-size bed and skylight and a garage spot for your Smart Car.

Just in time for the post-blizzard: Gambo Design’s electric Beach Boy concept vehicle is designed for warm coastal regions; dropping the top transforms the car into a roomy deck. (Thanks Kevin!)

With 46″ tires and a Cat C7 diesel engine, the EcoRoamer’s size belies its sophistication; it uses a NASA-designed water-purifying system and pumps out a 0.8 mile wide WiFi signal. (Thanks Philip!)

Ever wonder what happened to Jack Rebney, the hilarious NSFW Winnebago Man? Fortunately for us, the Winnebago Man documentary is due out next month, so we’ll be able to get an update.

Built on a Ford F-650 chassis, Dunkel Industries’ Luxury 4×4 is an uber-RV; it’ll haul an entire car in its bed and includes a shower, two flatscreens TVs yet still is able to go off-roading.
