That is what it originally gets. The RV is all stock, eventually I will be adding a couple of things to it, but first I need to finish the inside.

Any hints on where to track one down at?

Google or you can start here:

Coaches for Sale

and there is a Vixen msn group:

Wow, around $15-25k will get me one of these suckers. Pretty amazing. Now for the hard part: talking my wife into it!

Wow. Amazing that I have never seen one... I could practically walk to the plant they were built at.

awesome!

I daydream about building something similar all the time. lol

Could you try and explain how the roof operates (I couldn't gather much other than automatic)

[Erdrick]

How much does this thing weigh, by the way?

[5nahalf]

Well, the roof on my model is a fixed roof, Eventually I will be installing a full length cloth top that can retract.

As for weight, mine (I have the limo model) weighs 5000 lbs loaded. Although I wouldnt mind rebuilding the fiberglass body from carbon fiber and a honey comb board. I figure I could save nearly 1500 lbs off the body of it.
