I've always wanted one of those but couldnt afford that mammoth luxury meat wagon. Instead I had to settle for the "mini" version

May we inquire how much this one set you back for?

Mid 90's model gas powered motorhomes like this with low miles and in good shape are going for anywhere between $14k-$22k (asking prices).

This one has 35k miles and if everything checks out okay, I'll be paying right at $13k (driveout).

These things are actually quite affordable if you can find a good deal. Also, if they are new enough they can be financed for up to 20 years. I financed this one for 8 years...(just under $200/month).

OMG! So for another $3000 I could have had one like that!! Let me know when you get tired of it and want to downsize!


Does that thing have a little restroom in it? (seriously)

Yes. It has a restroom with a full size shower.

I think gas prices have brought the prices of these things down.

Kewl ... you can pull my car the Red River Raceway on March 28th and I'll pay for your ticket to event (weekend w/pit pass of course) ... ... we'll call it even steven or you can give a little cash if ya want ... haha!

Be sure to take the interest you pay against the loan as a tax deduction on a second residence.

Cya ... JHH

I was thinking the exact same thing, looks like we have a place to call home when we get tired of the aluminum bleachers. I will bring some meat and a small bbq pit but you have to bring your own beer cuz I know how much you can drink.

I picked this thing up Monday. Time for the fun to begin.

I noticed Banks makes a "Power Pack" for this thing (headers, exhaust system, & CAI) that adds an advertised 79hp / 96 lb-ft to the wheels. LOL! Their prices are insane, but I could probably replace the muffler with a Magnaflow, add some headers and fab up a CAI.

Lets put some glass packs on it and a 5" snorkel tube running up the side for CAI. Either that or we could run some straight pipes out each side for the top fuel look.

LOL! We'll have to go with true duals and dumps. This big MF already takes up the entire lane.

LOL. Would track officials even let you run this beast? Could you even do a burnout? lol

Probably with enough water on the tires and some tire chalks up front.
You would definitely need to use the left lane so that you could get enough clearance to exit the track at the end.
