I see five bumps on the roof, but the middle one looks rounder, like a satellite.

If it only cost 1.1 million, how could it have a slide? Don't remember seeing one.

I don't think it had slide(s), but can't say for sure. I would think not as they would want to be able to get going instantly, not wait for the slide to run in first.

Our 2001 Country Coach XL 45 2 slider could be moved around with the slides out. Maybe the XLII slide interlock/parking brake mechanism could be optionalized as to allow this coach to get on the run while the slides retract??? 'Course, they would have to leave a windwo open while the slides retract to prevent ears popping.

I suppose they could rig an override for it. I just can't see them really needing it. I am sure they are not going to overnight in it unless they are moving to another stop.

The article said that they bought two of them at $1.1M each. That cannot be accurate. It probably has a million dollars worth of electronics on board. Couple that with the armor and gas-tight seals (chemical attack proofing), I suspect the cost is much higher. Since its "classified" it may be years before we learn the truth, if ever.

I read somwhere that that was the price as delivered, and that the SS would be putting in much more equipment that they would not elaborate on because of security.
