RVs are synonymous with freedom.
It is the vehicle that allows you to travel without being tied to hotels, car rentals or restaurants.
Everything is handy and some are even as luxurious, or more, than a five-star.
On the market there are motorhomes with mobile panels, several bathrooms and a basement, and others even
with a garage
, like this
Volkner Mobil Performance
.
Developed by the German company Volkner Mobil, with a long history within this niche, this 12-meter-long motorhome is offered in three versions, and its prices range from
US $ 1,335,000 to US $ 1,600,000
.
Logically it offers all the traditional comforts, features and spaces, such as a bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom.
Although the icing on the cake is that it has
its own garage
to take the car everywhere.
Volkner Mobil offers several versions of motorhomes with garage.
Prices start at US $ 1,335,000.
The place reserved for the garage is the classic cellar, used in buses to carry passengers' luggage.
In this case, instead, the place was reserved to be able to put a
medium-sized car
.
While its proportions are not known, Volkner demonstrated with a
BMW i8
, which measures 4.68 meters long, 1.94 wide and 1.30 high.
Stowing it and taking it out is a simple task for the driver, who only has to do is leave the vehicle on an
electro-hydraulic drive platform
that lowers to ground level and rises to load the car on board.
The car, once stored, is completely
hidden under the living room
.
The environments can be customized in the construction phase, and once finished they are equipped with quality materials.
In the motorhome there is also storage space for two bikes, a removable grill, table and chairs, plus another extra compartment for drinks or other items.
5-star interior

All rooms are equipped with quality
furniture and materials.
In the kitchen, for example, there is an induction hob, an oven, a microwave, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a built-in slicer and an espresso machine.
In turn, if you need extra space, it has a sliding system that allows, with the push of a button, to move a part of the left side panel to the outside and
gain another 5 m2
.
The motorhome has a mobile panel that, with the push of a button, allows you to obtain an extra 5 m2.
For winter climates it has an "integrated" plumbing system that can use hot water to melt snow.
In addition, it has an autonomous heating and air conditioning system, which allows efficient and rapid management of the different temperatures established in each area.
The mechanical management, on the other hand, is commanded by a
430 or 460 horsepower
engine
associated with a Volvo I-Shift transmission.
