Perhaps it was 'availability pending'. And maybe that would give you outrigger canoe stability. It tilted quite a bit when people were on the roof for diving. I suspect that getting _out_ of the water is less trouble-free than they showed. I wondered about that too. Drive it out of the water, put it in park, disengage prop drive, engage wheel drive. If there's not some sort of front wheel drive assist, are you supposed to cruise into the ramp at 7 knots with your fingers crossed? Or maybe if you can't get out you can try to reverse up the ramp with the wheel drive engaged? ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Grant, you are way too negative. Focus instead on all the fun you will have.

Re: [MBZ] New Mrs. Kleb Car
My thoughts exactly. Custom motor coach = $2,500,000 [on the low side] Making it float = another $2,000,000 [Wild guess] Adding outriggers so the slideouts can slide while in water = another $2+ million... Then, the question of "What happens when you have wind while out on the water, with the 8' x 40' "sail" of the body of the bus, above the waterline? Does it flip? Or, does it not? I don't see any provision for a keel or stabilization... Death trap on water, and at the bank... then, you have to build a huge garage to house it at you HOA neighborhood that will not allow you to park a motorhome [anywhere in sight] On Thu, Oct 27, 2022 at 6:41 AM Jim Cathey via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > I got queasy watching the bus head into the lake.

> I got queasy watching the bus head into the lake. Wonder what it costs. Wonder if you can deploy all the slide-outs on the water? That interior looks near-useless in the closed position. When closed, the 'swim deck' can be accessed by crawling over the bed. Can the basement be accessed from the outside at all? Or is it below the waterline, and thus only accessible from inside, through the floor hatches. I suspect that getting _out_ of the water is less trouble-free than they showed. Looks like a solution in search of a problem. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] New Mrs. Kleb Car
Like all 40 ft luxury yachts, and all luxury 40 ft motor homes, if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it. Questions: If you sink it in the lake, will AAA come tow you out? What insurance company would insure it, at any cost rating? Last, but not least, where do you get it serviced that will properly service both the motor coach items and the boat yacht items?

I got queasy watching the bus head into the lake. Wonder what it costs.
