This luxury motor home is a Prevost diesel pusher with some features that you won’t find in most motorhomes, like glass tile (not just glass tile, but hand blown glass tile), a computer that comes up out of the counter in the kitchen, and a trap door that leads to a hidden room below.
Actually, tablet computers operate the slides and everything else in the motor home, and there are intercom systems so the door can be answered from the master bedroom, for example.
This RV cost a lot — a million dollars approximately, and belongs to a young man who was only 18 when he first had it.
Ashton Guidry got this RV for high school graduation. His dad Shane owns a Gulf Coast shipping company, and has another motorhome now. We’ll tell you more about that later.
The custom luxury coach’s storage bay — one of them — was converted into a lower-level room. Obviously, it’s not a tall-ceilinged room, but there’s a door to it from the exterior (as a normal bay) and from the floor of the motorhome interior.
The interior of the motorhome is 300 square feet in size, and as you might expect has all custom luxury fixings, like hand-blown glass tiles, custom upholstery, and a lot of electronics. Besides the master bedroom and lower-level room, the couch turns into a sofa bed for more sleeping space. The trailer on the back is an 18 wheel one, and is 28 feet long.
So what about that other motorhome I mentioned?
The other, newer motorhome is the most expensive RV ever sold, according to the RVing world media in the U.S. $2.8 million dollars was the price paid for the unit, after factoring in all the custom work done to it. The 2014 Prevost Millenium belongs to Gulf Coast shipping company owner Shane Guidry.
His previous bus, a 2009 Prevost Millenium custom coach, he gave to his son for a graduation present when his son was 18 (high school graduation). The two of them sometimes make trips together in convoy in the two luxury motorhomes.
“The whole reason I do it is because I want to create things that he and I can do together, and continue to be best friends and grow together.
The motorhome engine has 500 horsepower and 2,450 foot pounds of torque. The interior has 350 square feet of space, in which are a master bedroom, Brazilian wood cabinets, a bunch of TVs, 2 satellite systems, and as you might guess a lot of custom furnishings throughout the unit, and all interior functions and slides are run by a computer — an Apple-based Savant system.
Those computers also allow Shane to monitor the vehicle when friends or family borrow it, and he can communicate with them through it when he sees the speed go up too high.
The motorhome is towing a 28-foot trailer that weighs around 20,000 pounds loaded with a custom ATV.
So the Guidry’s turn out to be one of the most luxuriously motorhoming families we’ve heard of. With Shane’s old one million dollar motorhome now belonging to his son and his new nearly three million dollar one that he drives, and the fact that they take many road trips with both of them and a bunch of toys like ATVs and things, it might be that they cruise down the road with five million dollars worth of machinery. What might seem strange to most of us — the value of these luxury RVs — is actually increasingly common. While it’s still not that common to see $2.6 on a sticker, one million dollar RVs are listed on a lot of websites and are the price of the 2017’s for many of the top-of-the-lines. Even 1.5’s. However, there are still a lot of units for under half a million and even under 100,000, depending on what you’re looking for.
