The world’s most expensive RV includes a fireplace, bar and ‘Sky Lounge’

Talk about sticking out at the trailer park.

The world’s spendiest RV has just been sold, and its new home is the place where cops drive Bugatti Veyrons: Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Motor Authority is reporting that this monstrous mobile home, the 40-foot-long EleMMent Palazzo, was bought for a cool $3 million by a customer in Dubai. We know RVs can be expensive, but what exactly do you get for such a ridiculous asking price?

Well, its not exactly good looks; the Palazzo kind of looks like a lunchbox that melted in the sun for a few hours. It’s obviously not a performer either (although it can reach speeds of 93 mph), so let’s hope the engineers at Marchi Mobile, the Austrian company that built the Palazzo, didn’t skimp on creature comforts … they didn’t.

Inside, there are two levels that feature an enormous master bedroom (with an ensuite lavatory), a fireplace, underfloor heating, 40-inch TV, and onboard bar. There’s also a pop-up ‘Sky Lounge’ terrace, complete with its own cocktail lounge.

For the rare moment when you need to exit your mobile ivory tower, you can monitor and adjust the Palazzo’s lighting and temperature via a wireless control unit. Remote video access allows you to show off your yacht-on-wheels to friends, without letting their peasant folk garb spread dirt on your marble floors.

As if it wasn’t ostentatious enough already, the nightmarishly capitalized EleMMent was covered in gold before it was painted. It can also clean itself, somehow.

As Marchi Mobile says, “You can go wherever the sun takes you, but all the while outshine everything.”

A mobile home worth more than all the homes on your street? Only in Dubai.

Rivian R2 vs R1S: How will Rivian’s cheaper SUV compare?
The front three-quarter view of a 2022 Rivian against a rocky backdrop.

Rivian has finally unveiled the R2, its long-awaited attempt at a more affordable electric SUV. The new vehicle may not be available just yet, but fans of Rivian's design aesthetics and feature set are already looking forward to being able to order the new car. The R2 is targeted at being a more affordable take on the electric SUV and will sit alongside the flagship-tier R1S.

Let's get this out of the way right now: The R1S is most likely going to be a better vehicle than the R2. Rivian isn't replacing the R1S with the R2 — it's releasing the R2 as a more affordable alternative, and there will be some compromises when buying the R2 over the R1S.

We’re finally getting to the fun part of automakers’ methodical quest to replicate their lineups with electric cars.

But while we’ve already seen some variants of EVs boasting more power and more impressive stats — think Tesla Model S Plaid or Lucid Air Sapphire — the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is the first to truly apply that format to an EV.
