Lol, what do folks think of the glass shower? My first thought is, I like a little privacy, come on! My second is, every waterspot on that door would need to be cleaned up immediately. I suppose folks who buy $350k trailers probably don't use the facilities anyway.

It's amazing what a professional photographer with a wide angle lens and and understanding of small space constraints.

Oh well, a fool and his money is soon separated! ;-)

The perfect trailer for those in the MMTG* category....

I think I would take a new Serenity and redo it to my specs for a lot less....

The glass shower.....golly I squeegee mine down after every shower already. But, it would appear the shower has more room with this configuration.

As to wide angle lens.....this is what I call wide angle.....LOL

Not really, a fisheye lens like this on the Union Pacific would have put it over the top!!

Beautiful trailer, I love the interior. I'm surprised they didn't use a triple axle setup on these.

Why do I doubt that that interior is truly a restoration, but a complete replacement made to resemble a renovation?

Okay, I'll say it out loud. The EXTERIOR of that camper is really nice.

I wonder if it leaks?

Not a ton of pictures of the exterior, the one that is there omits the back half of the trailer.....

Maybe they didn't want to post the giant overhang beyond the rear axles?

Nice proportions but it's lacking an axel or two.
Thing that size should have a crew's quarters.

I doubt those mountains were PShopped.

Rather, I suspect, the photographer used HDR (high dynamic range) software. Up until my current camera (Nikon D800), I used Photomatix to achieve the same results.

If you know the software, it's pretty easy.

I have too, I just doubt they took the trailer someplace that scenic for photos. my feeling is that they took them in the parking lot and shopped them in. The view is just too perfect out every window.

There was a gutted one up for auction on ebay a few days ago. That's just a little to much trailer for me.

Well, the thing was originally built to BE crew quarters for the railroad.

I'd imagine whomever buys it is hardly going to be traveling with it.
