The most expensive RV we've ever owned but it's our home. A completely custom RV semi-trailer that we designed and asked SpaceCraftmfg.com to build took 7 months. On our Big Rig's 4th birthday, we decided to share it with the community. We hope it's been worth the wait and you enjoy the full inside tour of our home. We designed this 5th wheel RV but Spacecraft Manufacturing built it.
Welcome. How big are we?

Welcome and begin the tour of our home. It's a completely custom RV built on a semi-trailer chassis.

A secret room in an RV? It's small but extremely hidden, in plain sight. Custom power recliners make TV viewing with surround sound a pure joy...when we get time from retirement fun! The solution for the center channel speaker is so cool as we incorporate it into a "secret drawer". The Harry Potter room as we call it.
8 minute mark:
We show you the kitchen fit for a chef along with plenty of storage. Lots of cabinets with pull out drawers, adjustable shelves, double sink, granite counter tops and heated tile floors. An appliance garage and slide out tray for the toaster oven make this a super unique home.
14:15 minute mark:
We show the incredible expanding table which seats two...no wait...four adults...and large enough to use for games and working on projects. Chairs for four to sit at the table, where do we store all this stuff? Plenty of storage available. A commercial grade soda machine along with Sondra sneaking a sip of Diet Coke. Also, meet the Beast, the chiller for the carbonated water.
17:15 minute mark:
The foyer or entranceway is important and has our shoe cubby. We enjoy the Hawaiian custom of removing one's shoes, but where to store them? We have a cool solution. And a great place to store and charge our Eufy (robot vacuum). A Dyson vacuum is in the closet as it charges on the wall. We also expose our cache of Whataburger foam cups. No judging! LOL. We explain our Firefly system and how we have a backup to insure we always have lights. This feels very residential.
22:30 minute mark:
We start to head into the bedroom and discover a unique barn door which doubles as an art display. A residential size queen bed with room to stand in the slide out and room on each side of the bed along with nightstand tables for each of us. Plenty of storage in the vanity and cabinets to house ALL of our t-shirts. No judging! LOL.
26:30 minute mark:
We head into the bathroom and discover the full size shower with over 7 feet of head room! Wow! That's unheard of in an RV...but this is a semi-trailer RV so there are more special items to be found. A custom one of a kind closet with a Splendide washer/dryer and a cool ironing board area sets this bathroom apart from any other. A hidden drying rack that pulls out for delicate clothing!
RV Living at it's best.

Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.

We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded.
