Once you get the car in, how do you get out?! I'd just relax in the Mini until we got to the destination!

I don't think you drive it in. I believe it's winched in...like most race car trailers

I was thinking more along the lines of a mini on a roof-rack...

No, seriously...

That RV is pretty sweet. If it winches in, how do you set the parking brake, crawl thru the trunk?

It's probably one of those items that fit in the category of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it". Nope, I can't afford it.

Seems to me that it kind of goes against the MINI philosophy of "Let's sip, not guzzle".

Having said that, it is pretty cool.

during an episode of a Travel Channel show about millionaires toys. It was made by one of the large coach mfr companies. The cost was just over a million bucks. A gentleman in his 50's/60's bought it for he and his wife to tour the country.

This is Travel Supreme mid engine diesel pusher. The MINI is driven onto the ramp, locked down, and the ramp is pulled in by hydraulics into the bay with the MINI attached. You can see more on their web site. http://www.travelsupreme.com/product...age=floorplans

Yes this is nice but prices are between $280,000 and $360,000. They were just introduced a couple of years ago and there are are few popping up in the used for sale now too. I have a RV currently and would love to get one like this for our next one so we can travel with our MINI.

Here is another one for sale but give a good photo and measurements for the garage bay.

The bay has a compressor and storage in boxes attached inside the garage.

I guess, Msfitoy, that I was just asking who was the lucky owner of your dream motor-home...just wondered who the lucky girl/guy was.
