You can see the line where it splits on the first couple of interior photos - it's just above the upstairs laminate flooring! I saw a similar but smaller one in Norway recently, and longer ago in Iceland. Very nice. But damned expensive!

If I had the money I'd be driving around the world in one. BUT... I took the 101 to many places where that thing wouldn't have been able to get in a month of sundays - narrow tracks, steep mountain pistes, ferries across rivers, jungle tracks. So it's not all good news, smaller is often better.

the best thing is you can drive it on a car licence as it is a camper and you cant carry goods
yeah - but the UNLADEN weight may get you, so that you still need a HGV licence
