This Luxury Motorhome is Vanlife for the 1%
The Brabus Big Boy 1200
German company Brabus provides aftermarket upgrades to Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, Porsche and Rolls-Royce vehicles. They also produce their own limited-edition rides, and this is their largest: The Brabus Big Boy 1200, a luxury motorhome.
At nearly 40' long, 8.2' wide, and 13.1' tall, it's shocking you don' t need a CDL to drive the thing. (To make it a little easier to pilot, there is a 360-degree camera monitoring system.)
It offers 320 square feet of living space. Once you park the vehicle, it self-levels. You can then deploy the slide-outs, extending the width of the bedroom and living room to 14.8'.
The bed, which is in a transverse orientation, is the European equivalent of a queen-size (63" x 79", versus the 60" x 80" we've got on this side of the pond). The mirrors beyond the bed conceal a large closet.
The bedroom features a desk and a 43" 4K television with an integrated Playstation 5 system and, thanks to satellite internet via Starlink, access to the internet and streaming services.
The living room features leather-upholstered sofas with Alcantara wood accents.
The kitchen boasts an induction stove, oven, coffee machine, dishwasher, and refrigerator with an interior freezer. There's an additional dedicated wine fridge.
The bathroom is done up in actual stone and features a "rainforest shower."
Directly above the driver's cabin is an electrically lowerable bed, also 63" wide. I have no idea why they don't show this in the photos, it sounds pretty cool.
Lastly, it's got a 12.8-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel, and the vehicle tops out at 56 mph. (I'd be terrified to drive this thing at half that speed.)

Wait ... what? You're saying you don't need a CDL to drive this thing in the US? That's crazy. In Europe you certainly need a CDL (equivalent) for a 26 metric tons vehicle.
Well, maybe lane & parking assist tech is not a bad idea for an 85 year old in a battleship on wheels headed to Arizona.
