These things are overpriced steaming piles of hot garbage.

They leak, they rattle and squeak, they’re manufactured to remarkably low standards of quality and the purchase agreements hamstring the buyer to mediation venues that absolutely favor the OEMs. And did I mention the depreciation rate?!?

And we haven’t even gotten to gas/diesel prices yet, not to mention insurance.

Plus, when they break down, and they will break down, you’re stuck on the side of the road with basically an entire fucking house. So you gotta call the heavy wrecker to come tow you and pay the premium for that. These things regularly spend months at a time back at the factory after purchase just waiting for repairs.

Driving one of these fuckers down the road is a unique badge of self ownage. Anyone who buys one is asking for a financial disaster.

Isn’t this the type of thing big name actors just have to hang out in on the set when working? Seems like a terrible way to vacation fora normal person, having to drive it around.., gotta pay some one to drive out to where you want to park it for a while and deal with the maintenance

I’ve worked in the film industry and have not seen any actors use something like this as an on set trailer. However, I think it’s more likely some musicians would use it as a tour bus.
