The Mobil Mansion was a joint venture between the Fleetwood RV, Peterbilt, and GE companies as an attempt to introduce an exclusive level of portal living; their goal was to target the rich, as well as individuals who wanted to prete4nd to be of that level and take out massive loans and empty their saving for a taste of the good life.

After a prolonged period of planning, the vehicle was made. While moving the RV seemed normal enough from the outside if a bit long, but once parked and a button was pushed that was when the real magic happened;

The RV would expand on both sides, at the same time allowing carefully packed things to extend into view.

There was a telephone in the bedroom, living area, and between the driver and passenger seats. There was also a wide band CB radio, so the driver could check for delays and other obstructions ahead of time.

There was a full-style gourmet level kitchen, complete with a bar and walk in pantry, complimented by marble countertops. There was also a fully functioning dishwasher, as well as a washer and dryer as this was meant to be the 'servant' area when working.

A solid platform and awning slid out in case outside dining was desired.

The living area had leather sofas and theater seating, a gas fireplace, a television, and a state of the art sound system plus VCR.

A dining area with expensive walnut table and matching chairs can be found here too, along with soft lighting behind crystal to produce a warm, romantic glow if wanted.

The RV came with a garage to store sports vehicles, and straps to secure them.

When these vehicles were removed, the garage transformed into a master bedroom with an Alaskan king-sized bed and another television and sound system.

There was a spa-level bathroom accented with glass and chrome, with a skylight and jetted hot tub.

There was a walk-in closet in the bedroom area, and plenty of storage spaces.

The sofas and seats converted into sleeping areas for guests, while births and bunks were provided for the servants.

All told, the RV could comfortably sleep 12.

A clean and serviceable bathroom, with shower and sink, is located close to the servant's section of the vehicle.

Everything was paneled in warm mahogany, the lighting was recessed to make it less harsh on the eyes, and the flooring was heated.

There's even an expensively decorated and tasteful office, complete with a a Commodore Amiga 1000; This personal computer has a high-resolution color display, GUI interface, multimedia digital sound and multitasking; while not as popular as the original Apple Macintosh that was selling extremely well in 1984-1985, the Commodore Amiga 1000 which premiered in 1985 was far more advanced.

A diesel-fed generator and solar batteries provided extended and dependable power.

A giant water tank equipped with a one of a kind recycling unit provides water for 6 people for 48 hours, 12 people for 24 hours (including cooking washing dishing, using hot tub, showering, etc..), or drinkable water for 12 people for one week without needing to be refilled.

Fleetwood provided the RV format, Peterbilt supplied the high grade engine and build the frame to be as stable and lasting as one of their long haulers, while GE supplied the engineers to work out how to make all the pieces collapsible and pop back firmly in place when desired.

The end result was breathtaking, and got much press and gawking at the first show it was taken to; however, that's all that came from it.

The ultra-rich simply showed no signs in RVs including this one, meaning the only market would be everyone else. Just to break even, these units would need to be sold for one million each. Also it was long and heavy, making it hard to steer and control even under perfect conditions.

The Mobil Mansion was warehoused and the joint venture dissolved, the vehicle a painful memory to be forgotten about in time.

Then, oddly enough, a buyer called Fleetwood asking for information about buying the RV. They were willing to pay a million and a half, enough for the companies to cover the loss and then some; so it was no surprise when they agreed sell.
