These big luxury RV motorhomes and tractor-trailers are from France, which is why you probably haven’t seen pictures of them before. There’s a fleet of them. As you can see there’s the Kenworth T2000 in the picture up above pulling not one but two trailers with awnings, windows and all matching paint and decoration. They also have two others.
One of the others is a Kenworth as well — a W900. The other one is a Scania T500 V8. It might be a bit of a surprise that these are all registered in Frane. Europe uses a lot of cabovers from what I understand because of their length limits. These are all conventionals, and two are American (Scania is a Swedish make).
These luxury RVs were built by Cardron, a French horsetrailer company. They do Prevost-style box RVs and smaller van-like trucks as well. In France, they call these types of vehicles “camping cars.” Actually they do their vehicles with a bit of a camper-like look so it’s somewhat fitting.
These three blue RVs, though, actually belong to a circus, which is common with fleets of this type of vehicle. So the owners definitely spend part of the years in their vehicles.
For the image at the top, probably the most appealing of the fleet, the T2000, I learned a bit: It has slides and the front part of the trailer is converted into a laundry room. I guess that’s necessary when you have a fleet and you use it for work. The second (rear) trailer on that truck is a garage for a car (in this case, a Mercedes). Looks like they harmonized the three parts of the tractor-trailers pretty well. What do you think?
