Home Sweet Home Take it to the Open Road, Luxury Motorcoach Travel STORY BY MICHELLE KELLER
The way we travel and the way we live is changing. Masks in public and six feet of distance isn’t a trend, it’s the new normal, at least for now. With cleanliness and safety being at the top of everyone’s list, I can think of no better way to see the world than in the comfort of your own luxury motorcoach or recreational vehicle. Don’t confuse my plan with cousin Eddie’s (Randy Quaid) “tenement on wheels” in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation my friends. Just as travel plans have changed, the world of RV’s has received magnificent transformations. Think more in the direction of Jack Byrnes’ RV (Robert Deniro), in Meet the Parents’ second film Meet the Fockers. Refined and practical with fantastic class, let’s talk about the motorcoach of your dreams. Awarded ‘Best Flightless Private Jet,’ by British GQ, Marchi Mobile’s eleMent and MMpro series is mobility that is tailored to your needs. If you’re looking for a VIP shuttle or an upscale motorhome, Marchi Mobile is the elite. With precise, state-of-the-art materials combined with detail and functionality, this operation combines motor-sports, luxury yachting and aviation, which is notably a first in the land of automotive. In an innovative design, science fiction literally meets reality in the Marchi Element Palazzo. The futuristic exterior design combined with the sharp interior and cockpit-style seating will make you feel like the most important person on the planet. Crafted from marble over 60 mm thick, the outer layer weighs enough by itself to justify the Volvo motor that sits atop the Volvo chassis. Ultimately the best available RV at a cost of 3 million, the latest model includes sensored sliding doors for effortless entry, a rooftop deck complete with expandable dining furniture and every indoor luxury you can visualize. A 600 HP engine, the Newmar King Aire has a fully equipped interior that is a carbon copy of a palatial home.

This unit offers everything from a completely furnished living room to a kitchen equipped with the latest appliances and a bedroom supplies the ultimate in luxury bedding. Newmar presents four all-new options for its fullpaint Masterpiece™ finish, an industry-exclusive exterior graphics treatment that is carefully applied in-house. You also have your choice among four brand new interior décor palettes and four wood cabinetry stains, which feature a stunning ultra high-gloss finish. With a Harmon Infinity audio system, the sound of music or audiobooks is crystal clear in this motor coach. Wireless charging pads are outfitted in the cockpit along with an additional navigation center on the passenger side. Also a worthy mention is the Samsung notebook that controls the lights, shades, other electronics and many other functionalities. The point of any vacation and/or mini getaway is to relax and be entertained. The King Aire has a list of entertainment options guaranteed to entertain even cousin Eddie’s kids. (I only promised we wouldn’t arrive in a 1972 Ford Condor. Whether or not your family’s cousin Eddie and the kids guest star is your own little red wagon.) An expandable 4K LED Samsung TV will allow you to watch your faves in high definition with a Bose® Bluetooth compatible soundbar that offers. A second Samsung TV is also aboard for multiple viewing, and of course, internet connectivity comes with every package.
