Carrying your toad!!!
It is said that one of the compelling reasons for chosing a Trailer or Fifth-wheel over a Class A or C RV is the fact that you have a detachable vehicle for travelling about when not carrying around your home.
Perhaps this Class A has rewritten the book on having a toad without the bother of a hitch and extra length and limited maneuverability.

looks like that thing has about 4 inches of ground clearance.
Not too many places to go that won't scrape the bottom off of it!

Not The First.....
...................MoHo that can carry a car or motorcycle. Travel Supreme uses the Freightliner mid-engine diesel chassis in one of their models that can carry a Mini Cooper in the 'trunk', aka the space where the rear diesel engine usually goes. i have a cllient with one.
Very interesting but a real PIA to do anything on the engine...like oil changes!!

I'm guessing that it has airbags in order to gain ground clearance after loading the toad. I'm a diehard airstreamer, but that is too cool!! IF they ever build one that will hold a '55 Nomad, I may have to switch teams. LOL

Very Cool... I guess this is what the high end camper is looking for when it comes to lawn chairs. Just roll out a Mercedes from the the basement storage.

This is hardly a new idea. In the '80's we were going to rent a motorhome to make a fishing trip to Sweden from our station in Germany. One of the potentials was a French-built MH that carried a small Citroen in a rear compartment. It might have been named a Clou, but don't rely on my memory for that. It was too darn big for that trip.
regards
