The world's most expensive motorhome has gone on sale in Dubai - covered in gold and worth a cool £2 million.

The space-age eleMMent Palazzo comes complete with a colossal master bedroom, 40-inch TV, on-board bar, fireplace and even its own rooftop terrace.

But the most impressive piece of luxury is the 'Sky Lounge' - at the press of a button the 40ft home transforms into a personal retreat with pop up cocktail bar, underfloor heating and extravagant marble lighting.

Inside the $3m motorhome



The success of the vehicle has been a hit among oil-rich Arab Sheikhs - the state-of-the-art homes even wash themselves after a day's driving through the Middle Eastern desert.

Although the 40ft vehicle comes in a stunning gold, it is also available in white.

A spokesman for Marchi Mobile said: 'People never fail to notice innovation, but rarely does the excitement for it last.

'That is how it began for us. But now - after many years of development - we sparked a fire in luxury mobility.

Millionaire lifestyle: The master bedroom has a 40 inch TV, with warm water floor heating system and full air conditioning

Superstar status: The private jet on wheels is designed to cater for businessmen on the road, wealthy families on their travels or global superstars on tour

Draw: As millions of Brits load up the roof rack to enjoy a weekend break in Skegness or Blackpool, international business moguls are turning to Austrian luxury experts Marchi Mobile

Eye-watering price tag: Despite living space banishing stereotypical pokey caravans, the cost per sq ft comes at a pocket-busting premium - costing double the equivalent amount of some of London's finest homes

'The eleMMent series from Marchi Mobile is a new class within the premium segment of vehicles, targeted to enthuse lovers of the extraordinary.

'Our goal has not only been to introduce a new line of luxury vehicles - but usher in a new era. This is done by a perfect masterpiece that sets itself apart at first sight.'

The private jet on wheels is designed to cater for businessmen on the road, wealthy families on their travels or global superstars on tour.

Despite living space banishing stereotypical pokey caravans, the cost per sq ft comes at a pocket-busting premium - costing double the equivalent amount of some of London's finest homes.


Craze: Never known for doing things in moderation, Dubai millionaires are snapping up the latest craze in motorhomes


Security The impressive vehicle has real stream video surveillance so the users have a view to activity outside the motorhome


Modern: The bathroom is a billed as a 'Wellness bathroom' and comes with a rainfall shower


Equipped: The extended living area has an integrated kitchen area including a freezer, refrigerator, dishwasher, lift oven, sink, cook top, a built-in coffee machine and ice-maker


Glamour: Retractable steps emerge from the impressive vehicle to allow passengers on to the mobile home - the steps are eve lined with a red carpet


Mod cons: The caravan also has a barbecue grill station, an 80 litre stainless steel fridge, and a 40-inch all-weather proofed full HD TV and speaker system

It was all well and good up until that front end, holy fuack that's ugly.

As far as I am concerned, the best RVs in the world are the ones built on Prevost bus chassises. They are also $1.5MM for a new one but they are built miles better than any of the "RV" only companies since they are built on bus chassises that are meant to last for easily a million miles.

This is not my favourite colour scheme but what a rig:

I kinda dig the shark mouth design, its pretty cool...

I think its way more special and tasteful than those entire chromed out or diamond embezzled sls's. At least this has its own personality.

Although the windshield looks like a turntable, I doubt any big name DJ would buy this for travelling during performance tours.

the first picture of the side/rear view looked pretty good. but the front is so hideous..

i'm curious about the 'State-of-the-art homes even wash themselves after a day's driving' part though. they didn't mention it again after that.

how do cars wash themselves? i mean i'm guessing they're not talking about headlight or windshield washers..
