2011 Airstream 3500 Interstate Rides On A Mercedes-Benz Chassis

Airstream, maker of the iconic "silver bullet" travel trailer, has gone far beyond its design beginnings. The company recently announced the debut of its 2011 Interstate 3500 Class B touring coach. The 2011 Airstream 3500 Interstate is built on a Mercedes-Benz chassis. It has seating for eight, a kitchen, bathroom, and a convertible lounge area that at night becomes a bed for two. The bucket seats in the cockpit swivel to face a removable table that seats four at mealtime, and a 19" flat panel HD LCD/DVD provides on-board entertainment. The galley has a small convection-microwave oven, two-burner cook top and a 3.1-cubic-foot refrigerator is cooled by an AC/DC compressor that uses 90 percent less power than conventional RV models. It also has interior LED lighting and a 26-gallon fresh-water tank (with its own 6-gallon water heater for taking hot showers and washing dishes).

Country Coach Veranda, The Motor Coach With A Balcony

What's the average motor coach missing? These days they have just about everything, televisions, kitchens, luxurious bathrooms and more. The latest amenity is a private balcony that pops out with a touch of a button once you reach your destination. Country Coach's Veranda series of luxury motor coaches have a 4.6 foot wide by 13 foot deep steel platform with railings. The veranda is created by lowering the side wall and it is separated from the interior by 12-foot, three-section glass doors that can be opened. The deck can hold up to 3,000 pounds of weight and the deck floor is covered in vinyl. There are a couple of different floor plans and sizes as well as available options such as a LCD television that swings out for easy viewing, a barbecue, a folding table and chairs and power-roller day and night shades for the doors. You can learn more at the Country Coach Veranda website.

Teschner Coach White Star, The Drivable Mansion

An article in MotorHome magazine led me to the latest design from Teschner Coach, the German converter of luxury motor homes. The $1.5 million White Star might just be one of the most tasteful motor home designs I've ever seen. The White Star starts with a Prevost XLII 40-foot bus shell and creates a beautiful interior that includes cherry wood cabinites, granite mosaic tiles, wood floors and recessed LED lighting strips. It also has leather upholstery, hot-water underfloor heating and a 26.2-cubic-foot side-by-side refrigerator with a door-mounted 15-inch LCD TV. There are three other televisions in the home including a 32-inch unit mounted in the outside entertainment center. The White Star has a granite shower, large rear bedroom and ample storage space. So gorgeous, I just wonder what the gas mileage is on this beauty.
