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

    But I think Pete is on to something. Why cannot there be dedicated parking sites for RVs at major attractions? I'm not sure camping overnight should be allowed, but it would be very convenient for folks with dogs or special dietary needs or who just want a place to pee with9ut sharing a toilet with 10,000 of their closest friends.

    With all the emphasis on going "green", I don't see why this bus wouldn't have worked.

    All it needs is a little armor....VW BUS.jpg

    Check the vid and count all the vehicles. Couple of thoughts come to mind -

    1.) all the state troopers in MN are in tow.....

    2.) what is the carbon footprint of that deal?

    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.
