Original subtitles

(narrator) YOU MIGHT SEE ONE OR TWO

OF ANDERSON'S MOBILE ESTATES PARKED ON THE SET

OF HOLLYWOOD'S NEXT BIG BLOCKBUSTER.

OUR CLIENTELE IS THE VERY WEALTHIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.

WHEN YOU HAVE A SPACE RESTRICTION,

THE ONLY WAY TO GO IS UP. AND WHEN AN EXTREME SPORTS ENTHUSIAST

NEEDS AN RV WITH A LITTLE MUSCLE,

THEY HEAD OVER TO SHOWHAULER.

WE CAN RAISE THE ENTIRE COACH OFF THE GROUND.

AND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM,

WE'VE GOT PART MINIMALIST, PART SCIENCE FICTION.

THIS IS THE CRICKET.

I THINK THIS COUNTS AS THE MOST EXTREME RV IN THE WORLD.

SO GET READY, AS THESE THREE UNIQUE RVs

MAKE THE TREK FROM CONCEPT TO CREATION

RIGHT HERE ON "EXTREME RVs."

(horn honks)

THE RECREATION VEHICLES OF OLD WERE JUST THAT,

VEHICLES DESIGNED FOR CASUAL RECREATION.

THEY CAME EQUIPPED WITH THE BASE NECESSITIES

TO KEEP THEIR OCCUPANTS MODERATELY COMFORTABLE

WHILE AWAY FROM HOME.

WELL, THAT'S ABOUT TO CHANGE.

SAY HELLO TO THE EXTREME RV.

THESE FIRST-CLASS MOBILE MANSIONS ARE THE NEXT STEP

IN AN EVER-EVOLVING WORLD OF LUXURY ON WHEELS.

ANDERSON MOBILE ESTATES

IS KNOWN FOR THEIR MASSIVE COACHES.

WE'RE TALKING 1,200 SQUARE FEET OF PURE LUXURY.

ANDERSON MOBILE ESTATES ARE EXTREME.

HANDS DOWN, NO ONE HAS COME ANYWHERE CLOSE

TO BUILDING THESE KIND OF THINGS.

WITH AMENITIES THAT RIVAL ANY FIVE-STAR HOTEL,

IT'S NO WONDER THESE MOBILE MANSIONS

HAVE BEEN HOLLYWOOD'S FIRST CHOICE FOR OVER 20 YEARS.

IT STARTED WITH SLY STALLONE.

HE WAS LOOKING FOR AN RV FOR THE "ROCKY" MOVIES.

WE TOOK THE RV UP THERE,

AND I WORKED WITH HIM ON THE WHOLE SHOW,

AND THEN HE STARTED TELLING OTHER PEOPLE,

AND TOLD EVERYBODY IN HOLLYWOOD, AND THAT'S HOW WE GREW.

AND AS ANDERSON CONTINUES TO GROW,

THEY ALSO CONTINUE TO RAISE THE BAR,

BUILDING THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN, STRAIGHT UP.

A FEW YEARS AGO, WILL SMITH SAID HE WANTED TO BUILD A NEW RV

FOR WHEN HE WAS FILMING.

I SAID, "WELL, I'VE GOT THIS 2-STORY IDEA,"

SO WE WON'T TAKE UP SO MUCH SPACE ON THE MOVIE LOT.

AND HE SAID, "THAT'S COOL."

SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW THIS WHOLE 2-STORY RV EVOLVED.

RON ANDERSON'S NEXT PROJECT

IS FOR TELEVISION PRODUCER AND MUSIC MOGUL SIMON COWELL.

AND RON'S SON R.J. WILL LEAD THE CHARGE,

MAKING SURE SIMON'S RV IS BOTH STYLISH AND ON THE CUTTING EDGE

OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY.

I THINK TECHNOLOGY IS JUST SO COOL.

I THINK IT MAKES OUR LIVES EASIER, AND I WANT TO BE ABLE

TO INTEGRATE THAT INTO EVERYTHING THAT WE DO.

THIS BUILD IS TRULY A FAMILY AFFAIR,

AS RON'S DAUGHTER McKENZIE LENDS A HAND

WITH THE INTERIOR DECORATING.

MY FATHER IS A PERFECTIONIST, AND HE'S THE GEARHEAD.

I HAVE MY BROTHER WHO'S THE TECHIE,

SO I'M SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN ALL THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE QUITE I FIT IN, BUT...

FOR A CLIENT LIKE THIS,

THE TRAILER NEEDS TO BE OUTSTANDING.

BUT THERE IS A CATCH.

NOW WE ONLY HAVE SIX WEEKS TO BUILD THIS.

WE SAID, THERE'S JUST ABSOLUTELY NO WAY

THAT WE HAVE THE TIME TO DO A NEW BUILD.

I DON'T CARE IF I PUT A THOUSAND GUYS ON IT.

IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN. YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE

TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN SIX WEEKS.

THE ONLY OPTION THEY HAVE IS TO REDESIGN AND REBUILD

ONE OF THEIR CURRENT TRAILERS.

THIS BEAUTY'S NAME IS "THE STUDIO."

IT'S CURRENTLY ONE OF THE MOST ELABORATE TRAILERS

IN THE WORLD, AND IN SOME WAYS,

IT'S A SHAME IT'LL GET TORN APART,

BUT THIS IS THE ONLY OPTION.

I TALKED TO THEM, AND THEY WANT TO DO A WHOLE MODERN THEME.

SO RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE DARK, DARK, DARK,

AND THEY WANT EVERYTHING LIGHT AND MORE CONTEMPORARY.

IT'S GONNA BE A LOT OF WHITE, BUT IT'S GONNA LOOK REALLY GOOD,

BECAUSE THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE A CONTRAST OF THE FLOOR.

OH, WE'RE REDOING THE FLOORS, TOO? YEAH. IT'S GONNA HAVE A NICE SLEEK LOOK.

IF WE'RE GONNA ALL WHITE WALLS AND ALL WHITE THINGS,

WHY DON'T WE DO WHITE A.M.X. TOUCH PADS, WHITE, LIKE...

OOH. WHITE THERMOSTATS, WHITE-- EVERYTHING'S JUST SEAMLESS.

WE GOT A LOT TO DO AND SIX WEEKS TO DO IT, SO... SIX WEEKS.

(laughs) I KNOW. I TOLD 'EM FOUR MONTHS WHEN WE STARTED THIS.

I SAID, "WE NEED FOUR MONTHS." WHOO!

TEAM ANDERSON. LET'S GO.

SO RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A LITTLE MORE OF A WARM FEEL,

AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT A LITTLE ELEGANT, CLASSY,

REAL MODERN, REAL YOUNG, AND GIVE IT A WHOLE NEW FEEL.

IT'S GONNA LOOK REALLY SEXY.

WITH THE COLOR PALETTE AND STYLING CUE SORTED,

RON AND R.J. HAVE TO DETERMINE WHAT MAJOR CHANGES

NEED TO BE MADE FOR THIS MASSIVE PROJECT.

OH, MAN. I'M READY TO OPEN THIS ROOM UP.

I THINK WE NEED A LOT MORE LIGHT.

RIGHT. YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY DARK IN HERE.

WITH BRIGHTER L.E.D.s, THAT SHOULD BE REALLY GOOD.

I THINK WE OUGHT TO GO AHEAD AND JUST MAKE A BATH AND A HALF.

YOU'VE BEEN BUGGING ME TO DO THAT ANYWAY, SO... YEAH.

THE UPSTAIRS--I'M PRETTY HAPPY WITH UP HERE, YOU KNOW.

I THINK THE BASE IS GOOD.

I JUST THINK A FACE-LIFT IS REALLY WHAT THIS PLACE NEEDS.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, LET'S GET ON IT.

LET'S DO IT. START TEARING IT APART.

IN ADDITION TO ALL THE NEW UPHOLSTERY AND FLOORING,

THIS UPDATED MOBILE ESTATE

WILL FEATURE 3 60-INCH 3-D TVs,

ONE OF WHICH WILL RESIDE

OUTSIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDE-OUT.

THEN THERE'S THE FULLY EQUIPPED

GUARDIAN 24/7 MEDICAL CENTER WITH AN ON-CALL DOCTOR.

(Ron) I HAVE TO TAKE THE WINDOWS OUT OF THIS THING.

I GOT TO PULL THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OUT

TO GET TO ALL THE PANELS. WE GOT TO REWIRE THIS THING.

WE HAVE TO INSTALL ALL THE NEW ELECTRONICS, ALL THE NEW TVs,

ADD A HALF BATH, WHICH ADDS PLUMBING.

I HAVE TO MOVE THE HOLDING TANKS, ADD NEW HOLDING TANKS,

ALL OF THAT IN SIX WEEKS.

WHAT HAVE I GOT MYSELF INTO?

YEAH, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A REBUILD,

IT'S STILL A MASSIVE TASK.

WE'RE TRYING TO DISASSEMBLE THE COUCHES BACK HERE,

AND WHEN THEY BUILT 'EM, THEY BROUGHT 'EM IN

THROUGH THE STAIRWAY BEFORE ALL THE WALLS WERE BUILT.

SO WE CAN'T EXIT THAT WAY, AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BRING

THE COUCHES OUT THROUGH A WINDOW.

GROWING UP IN THIS INDUSTRY

AND UNDERSTANDING THE WAY STARS LIVE,

YOU KNOW, THIS IS THEIR HOME AWAY FROM HOME,

AND THAT'S WHAT WE TRY TO ACCOMMODATE.

HAVING THE TWO STORIES MAKES THEIR LIVES EASIER

BY HAVING THEIR ENTIRE STAFF UPSTAIRS

BUT NOT IN THEIR SPACE AT THE SAME TIME.

AS THE DAY COMES TO A CLOSE,

THE TEAM IS STILL HEAVILY ENTRENCHED IN DISASSEMBLY,

BUT THAT'S THE CHALLENGE

WHEN YOU'RE ATTEMPTING TO DISMANTLE A FORTRESS ON WHEELS.

WE CERTAINLY HAD TO TAKE A LOT MORE STUFF APART

THAN WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO.

IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG ROAD AHEAD, BUT...

YOU KNOW WHAT? I KNOW THAT OUR END RESULT IS GOING TO BE GOOD.

WE'LL COME BACK TO CHECK IN ON ANDERSON'S PROGRESS

A LITTLE LATER.

BUT MEANWHILE, LET'S TAKE A TRIP

HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY,

WHERE SHOWHAULER HAS A DIFFERENT TAKE

ON WHAT MAKES AN RV EXTREME.

UNLIKE ANDERSON, WHICH BUILDS TRAILERS PULLED BY A BIG RIG,

SHOWHAULER RVs ARE BUILT ON A BIG RIG,

WHICH FALLS UNDER THE RV CLASS KNOWN AS COACH.

APRIL OF 2000 WAS WHEN THE DOORS FIRST OPENED.

MY FATHER, WHO WAS THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY,

AND TWO OTHER GENTLEMEN SAW AN OPPORTUNITY

TO BE ABLE TO BUILD UNITS THAT WERE CUSTOM

TO TAKE CARE OF THE RACE INDUSTRY

AND PEOPLE THAT JUST WANTED SOMETHING DIFFERENT

THAN WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAD.

FROM THE GROUND UP,

SHOWHAULER RVs ARE BUILT TO LAST,

RELYING HEAVILY ON THE DEPENDABILITY

OF OLD-WORLD CRAFTSMANSHIP.

WELL, I'M THINKING YOU COULD PICK THE WHOLE TRUCK UP

WITH A HOIST, 'CAUSE IT'S BUILT PRETTY STURDY.

WE PUT ACTUALLY STEEL BEAMS GOING UP THE SIDE,

1x3 TUBULAR STEEL, AND IT'S WELDED.

THERE'S NOT ONE SCREW THAT HOLDS THIS RIG TOGETHER.

ON A CONVENTIONAL RV, WHAT THEY HAVE

IS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A STEEL FRAME ON THE BOTTOM,

BUT THEY HAVE VACUUM-BONDED ALUMINUM WALLS

THAT ARE GONNA SIT IN A SLOT, AND THEY BOLT 'EM,

EVERY OTHER RIG IN THE MARKET. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR WELDS

ARE GONNA LAST LONGER THAN THEIR BOLTS.

WE JUST GOT A LOAD OF STEEL IN. IN JUST THIS LOAD,

WE'LL PROBABLY DO TWO AND A HALF,

MAYBE THREE RIGS AT THE MOST.

AND WITH THAT MUCH WEIGHT PACKED INTO EACH RV,

THEIR ENGINES HAVE GOT TO PACK A PUNCH,

WITH OVER 500 HORSEPOWERAND 2,000 FOOT-POUNDS OF TORQUE.

THESE MONSTER POWER PLANTS

WILL SURELY KEEP THESE SHOWHAULERS ROLLING. THESE ARE MILLION-MILE MOTORS.

THEY'LL OUTLAST ANYONE THAT'S ON THE ROAD.

WHAT STARTED AS AN OPERATION

DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE EQUESTRIANS AND RACERS

HAS MORPHED INTO A FULL-SCALE CUSTOM RV DESIGN SHOP

WITH THE ABILITY TO BUILD

WHATEVER THE CUSTOMER MIGHT NEED.

MY FATHER TAUGHT ME WHAT BUSINESS WAS ALL ABOUT,

AND HE SAID YOU NEVER SAY NO. YOU FIGURE OUT A WAY TO DO IT.

MICROSOFT ACROSS AMERICA TOUR-- THEY HAD FIVE OF OUR UNITS.

VOLCOM HAD ONE OF OUR UNITS. A LOT OF RACE GUYS HAVE 'EM.

TRAVIS PASTRANA HAD ONE, BOB GILBERTSON.

PEOPLE COME TO US,

BECAUSE THEY CAN HAVE BUILT WHAT THEY NEED.

SHOWHAULER'S CURRENT VENTURE

FINDS THEM BUILDING THEIR MOST EXTRAVAGANT 2-BEDROOM RV

TO DATE.

ONE OF OUR DEALERS OUT OF NORTH CAROLINA CALLED UP,

AND HE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A FAMILY-ORIENTED TRUCK

WHERE HE COULD HAVE THE KIDS HAVE THEIR OWN BATHROOM

AND THEIR OWN BEDROOM,

AND MOM AND DAD HAVE A FULL KING-SIZE BED

AND A HAVE A FULL BATHROOM BY THEMSELVES.

INSTALLING THE FLOOR, A SINGLE MASSIVE SHEET OF HARDWOOD,

IS THE FIRST STEP IN GETTING THIS PROJECT UNDER WAY.

IT COMES DOWN IN ONE PIECE LIKE THIS, AND WE TAKE IT IN.

WE CENTER IT UP. BOLT HER DOWN, AND WE'RE GOOD TO GO.

NEXT, THE TEAM GETS TO WORK ON THE SLIDE-OUT UNIT,

A HUGE SECTION OF THE CABIN

RIGGED TO EXPAND THE WIDTH OF THE INTERIOR SPACE BY 4 FEET.

IT'S A 149-INCH SLIDE,

AND I'VE GOT TO WELD EVERYTHING UP

BEFORE WE CAN PUT ON THE SHEET METAL ON THE OUTSIDE,

AND THE GUYS OVER THERE PUT THE WOOD IN HERE.

GETTING READY TO LIGHT IT UP.

THIS CREW SEEMS RELAXED,

BUT UNDER THE HOOD,

THEY KNOW THAT THIS COACH NEEDS TO SHINE.

IT'S A ROLLING HOUSE ON WHEELS

IN THE MOST EXTREME FACTOR.

COMING UP, THE SIMON COWELL TRAILER BUILD IS MAKING TRACKS,

AS R.J. TAKES US ON A TOUR

OF ONE OF THEIR OTHER HIGH-PROFILE RVs.

LET ME SHOW YOU WILL SMITH'S GOLF RV.

AND WE'LL FIND OUT WHO IS SHOWHAULER'S SECRET WEAPON

WHEN IT COMES TO CABINETRY.

THIS IS HOW HE GETS TO WORK.

(neighs)

THEN WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THE RV EQUIVALENT

TO A SPACE STATION HABITATION MODULE,

DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED

BY A FORMER NASA SPACE ARCHITECT.

THE CRICKET IS NOT AN RV.

THE CRICKET IS THE COVERED WAGON OF THE 21st CENTURY.

THIS LITTLE TRAILER IS TAKING THE RECREATION VEHICLE

OUT OF THIS WORLD.

WE'VE SHOWN YOU HOLLYWOOD'S IDEAL

WHEN IT COMES TO MOBILE ACCOMMODATIONS.

BUT NOW THE TEAM AT ANDERSON MOBILE ESTATES

IS TAKING THAT IDEAL TO THE EXTREME,

GIVING THEIR ULTRA-LAVISH 2-STORY STUDIO ON WHEELS

A COMPLETE TINSELTOWN FACE-LIFT

FOR NONE OTHER THAN MEGA-PRODUCER SIMON COWELL.

AND WITH THE ONLY DOUBLE DECKER RV ON THE PLANET,

ANDERSON CONTINUES TO RISE ABOVE THE COMPETITION.

WE OWN THE PATENT TO THE 2-STORY,

SO WE'VE KIND OF KEPT PEOPLE OUT.

EVEN THOUGH I TELL 'EM, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'LL GIVE YOU A LICENSE.

BY THE TIME YOU SPEND $2 MILLION

FIGURING OUT HOW TO BUILD ONE THAT WORKS,

YOU'LL COME BACK AND BUY ONE FROM US, YOU KNOW.

ALLOWING THEM TWICE THE SPACE

AND REQUIRING TWICE THE HARDWARE,

THESE COACHES ARE MORE THAN THE HEIGHT OF LUXURY ON WHEELS.

THEY'RE A FEAT OF MODERN ENGINEERING.

BUT INNOVATION IS THE PRECURSOR TO A WHOLE LOT OF HARD WORK.

AND NOW THAT THEIR MOBILE STUDIO HAS BEEN GUTTED,

IT'S TIME FOR THE ANDERSONS

TO BRING THEIR PLANS FOR PERFECTION TO LIFE.

MY DAD WILL NEVER DO ANYTHING HALF-ASSED,

AND HE HAS MADE EVERYTHING TO THE TOP NOTCH.

HE'S REALLY REVOLUTIONIZED THE INDUSTRY IN ITSELF.

WITH THESE UNITS, THEY'RE OVER-THE-TOP,

BUT THEY'RE FUNCTIONAL.

OVER-THE-TOP BUT FUNCTIONAL--

HERE'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT.

LET ME SHOW YOU WILL SMITH'S GOLF RV.

WE DESIGNED IT. WE'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE

TO EVER BUILD A FULL DRIVING RANGE IN A TRAILER.

YOU KNOW, WILL'S A VERY TALL MAN,

AND HE HAS A VERY HIGH GOLF SWING,

SO WE HAVE A 12-FOOT HIGH SLIDE HERE.

WE HAVE TWO HIGH-SPEED CAMERAS ON EITHER END

THAT RECORD EVERY MOVEMENT. AND THEN WHEN HE'S NOT USING IT,

DROP THE SCREEN, AND YOU HAVE A FULL DAILIES UNIT

THAT HE BRINGS IN ALL HIS PRODUCERS FOR THAT DAY,

OR HE JUST BRINGS HIS BUDDIES IN HERE, AND HE JAMS OUT.

WILL LOVES LOUD MUSIC.

ANDERSON MOBILE ESTATES BELIEVES COMFORT

IS THE KEY TO KEEPING THEIR CLIENTELE SATISFIED,

AND THE FIRST STEP IN KEEPING A CLIENT COMFORTABLE

IS KEEPING THEM COOL.

BIGGEST PROBLEM WE HAVE,

ESPECIALLY 'CAUSE WE DID A LOT OF FILMING IN THE DESERT.

AIR-CONDITIONING WAS A HUGE PROBLEM,

SO WE SAT DOWN AND DESIGNED AN AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM

THAT IS HIGH PRESSURE, LIKE YOU HAVE IN AN AIRPLANE.

YOU KNOW THOSE LITTLE VALVES YOU OPEN UP?

WELL, THE NICE THING ABOUT THAT--

IT TURNS THE AIR OVER VERY QUICKLY.

WE RUN THAT THROUGH HEPA FILTERS,

SO WE EVEN KEEP BACTERIA OUT.

A HIGH-PROFILE CLIENT CAN'T GET SICK.

HE GETS SICK, EVERYBODY GOES HOME.

WE ACTUALLY HAD ONE IN DUBAI. IT WAS 130 DEGREES OUTSIDE.

WE'RE SITTING ON ASPHALT.

WE BROUGHT THAT UNIT TO 78 DEGREES.

AND HANDLING THE AIR-CONDITIONING CONSTRUCTION

AND INSTALLATION IS TOM MOLLOY, ANDERSON'S GO-TO SPECIALIST,

WHEN IT COMES TO COOLING THESE MASSIVE COACHES.

THIS IS A 5-TON HEAT PUMP, IS WHAT IT'S CALLED.

IT'S A REVERSE CYCLING UNIT.

GENERALLY, YOU CAN FEEL IN AN AIR CONDITIONER

HOW YOU FEEL HOT AIR COMING OUT,

LIKE YOU HAVE A CONDENSER IN YOUR BACKYARD.

IT DISCHARGES THE HOT AIR THROUGH THE COIL.

THIS WILL REVERSE AND RUN THAT HOT AIR

THROUGH THE INTERIOR COIL AND HEAT OR COOL.

5-TON AIR LIKE THIS-- YOU COULD COOL

A 2,500-SQUARE-FOOT HOME WITH IT.

WE HAVE TWO.

WE HAVE 10 TONS TOTAL ON A 1,200-SQUARE-FOOT UNIT.

ASIDE FROM THE COMPLEXITIES OF SUCH AN ENORMOUS A.C. UNIT,

THE TEAM MUST ALSO CONTEND WITH OVER 4 MILES OF WIRING

FOR THE VARIOUS ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS.

WHEN THE POP-OUT COMES IN, THE WIRES FOLLOW THIS TRACK,

AND THEY COME IN AND OUT. SO RIGHT NOW,

WE'RE FISHING ALL NEW CAT5 FOR 3-D TVs, FOR iPODs,

FOR ALL THE NEWEST TECHNOLOGY THAT'S GONNA BE IN THE TRAILER.

OKAY, GO AHEAD. OKAY.

(man) GEORGE, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YEAH.

YEAH.

WINDOWS--

THE ANDERSON RVs HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOT OF WINDOWS.

IN FACT, THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF ADDING EVEN MORE

TO THE SIMON COWELL PROJECT.

WE'RE GETTING RID OF ALL THE FOAM INSULATION

ON THE TRAILER, SO THAT WE CAN START CUTTING

THE SUPERSTRUCTURE OUT TO INCREASE THE WINDOW SIZE.

AND WE'RE IN.

AND JUST INSIDE THAT SLIDE-OUT UNIT,

A SECTION OF THE MAKEUP QUARTERS IS BEING TRANSFORMED

INTO A STATE-OF-THE-ART MEDICAL FACILITY.

WHAT WE DO IS WE PUT IN A TELEMEDICAL CAPABILITY

WITH A 24-HOUR OPERATION CENTER

WITH PHYSICIANS THERE EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK.

THE PATIENT WILL ACTUALLY PUT THE GLOVE ON THEIR HAND,

ONTO THEIR CHEST,

AND OUR PHYSICIAN WILL GET A pdf E.K.G.

SENT TO HIS LAPTOP FROM HERE.

SO THERE'S NO GOING TO A HOSPITAL,

NO GOING TO A DOCTOR'S OFFICE.

THE ONLY OTHER PERSON THAT GETS THIS KIND OF CARE IN THE COUNTRY

IS THE PRESIDENT.

AND FROM SLIDE-OUT UNITS

AND INDUSTRIAL GRADE AIR-CONDITIONING

TO THE HIGH-TECH MEDICAL SYSTEM,

THERE HAS TO BE A MAINFRAME TO CONTROL IT ALL.

WE HAVE OUR $100,000

BRAIN A.M.X. RACK GOING IN.

SO TO COMPUTERIZE THE TRAILER WITH THE A.M.X. SYSTEM,

WE HAD TO RUN ABOUT 10,000 FEET OF CAT5 INTO THE TRAILER.

ALL THE LIGHTING IS GONNA BE RUN OFF OF IT,

ALL OF THE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER RACKS.

YOU COULD PLAY A DVD DOWNSTAIRS.

IT'LL PLAY ON ANY TV THROUGHOUT THE TRAILER.

IT'S LIKE WE'RE TAKING ALL OF WHAT WE'VE LEARNED

IN THE PAST TEN YEARS,

AND WE'RE CRAMMING IT INTO ONE OF OUR TRAILERS.

THAT'S WHY WE ARE SUCCESSFUL

IN THIS BUSINESS

IS BECAUSE WE'VE CREATED A MULTITASKING UNIT

FOR MULTITASKING PEOPLE.

THIS IS A PRODUCTION OFFICE. THIS IS A PORTABLE SKYSCRAPER

WITH 75 PEOPLE RUNNING IN AND OUT.

THIS IS THE PERFECT PLATFORM FOR THIS.

AND BACK IN MIDDLEBURY,

THE SHOWHAULER TEAM IS GETTING TO WORK

ON THEIR SIGNATURE HANDCRAFTED CABINETRY.

MADE WITH A VARIETY OF WOODS AND BUILD ENTIRELY BY HAND,

THESE CABINETS, LIKE THE RV STEEL FRAME,

ARE BUILT TO LAST.

FOR THIS PARTICULAR COACH, WE'RE GONNA USE OAK.

WE USE (speaking indistinctly) 3/4 INCH. IT'S A RED OAK.

WE HAVE A SPECIALLY FORMULATED COLOR.

WE CALL IT CHERRY.

CUSTOMERS SEEM TO LIKE IT. IT BRINGS OUT A HOME FEEL.

IT'S A LOT WARMER, AND EACH TRUCK'S DIFFERENT.

YOU CAN HAVE TWO TRUCKS THAT ARE EXACTLY THE SAME,

BUT BECAUSE OF THE TONES IN THE WOOD,

IT JUST GIVES IT A DIFFERENT APPEARANCE.

BUT WHERE DID THEY GET THESE AMAZING CABINETS?

WELL, SHOWHAULER SHOP

FINDS ITSELF IN THE HEART OF AMISH COUNTRY,

AND A LOCAL AMISH CABINETMAKER AND WOODWORKER

IS USING HIS TIME-HONORED SKILLS

TO ADD A TOUCH OF OLD-WORLD CLASS

TO THESE AWESOME MACHINES.

TO BE IN THE HEART OF AMISH COUNTRY IN MIDDLEBURY, INDIANA,

IT'S NICE THAT WE HAVE AN AMISH MAN

THAT TAKES OVER THE CABINET SHOP,

AND IT MAKES IT A PLEASURE WORKING WITH HIM,

SOMEONE THAT DOES OLD WORLD

AND STILL HAS THE ART OF TRUE PATIENCE

AND QUALITY IN THEIR SOUL.

UNFORTUNATELY, YOU'LL NEVER GET TO SEE HIS FACE.

YOU MAY GET TO SEE HIS HANDS.

IN THE AMISH RELIGION,

YOU CAN'T TAKE THEIR PICTURE.

THIS IS HOW HE GETS TO WORK.

(neighs)

WITH THE CABINETRY NEARLY COMPLETE,

THE SHOWHAULER BUILD IS PROGRESSING QUICKLY.

BUT BEFORE ANY OF THAT BEAUTIFUL WOODWORK

CAN BE INSTALLED, THE TEAM HAS TO ATTACH AND SHAPE

THE EXTERIOR PANELS AROUND THE STEEL FRAME SUPERSTRUCTURE.

IT'S .063 ALUMINUM. IT'S A REAL THICK ALUMINUM,

AND IT'S TAPED ON.

IT'S 3M TAPE. IT'S AMAZING.

GETTING READY TO ROUTE OUT SOME VENT OPENINGS,

DOORWAYS, WINDOWS.

EVERY TRUCK WE DO AFTER WE HANG THE METAL,

WE GOT TO USE A ROUTER AND OPEN IT UP.

AND WHILE THE WINDOW AND DOOR OPENINGS ARE CUT,

LET'S CHECK IN WITH CRAIG WHO'S TAKING THE LEAD

ON THE WIRING AND INSULATION.

GET AS MUCH COVERAGE AS--

AS POSSIBLE.

THEN WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET EVERYTHING COVERED, ALSO,

ABOVE AND BELOW THE SLIDE-OUTS.

THERE'S PROBABLY ABOUT 15 MILES' WORTH OF WIRING IN HERE.

I'LL PUT UP ABOUT 13 MILES OF IT.

IS THAT LOADED? OH, YEAH, IT IS LOADED. THANKS A LOT.

WHEN WE COME BACK, THERE IS A LOT OF WEIGHT-SAVING TRICKERY

TO BUILDING AN RV,

AND YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHERE THEY BORROW IT FROM.

SO THIS IS ACTUALLY ONLY ABOUT 1/4-INCH THICK,

BUT WE BUILD THOSE EDGES BACK UP,

AND YOU CAN'T EVER TELL THAT WE TOOK THAT.

IT TAKES 80% OF THE WEIGHT OUT OF THE TRAILER.

AND FROM THE LAP OF LUXURY

TO THE BASE NECESSITIES OF ALTERNATIVE LIVING,

WE'LL CHECK OUT HOW THE SPACE-AGE CRICKET

INCORPORATES THE LATEST IN NASA-INSPIRED TECHNOLOGY.

NASA IS REALLY WHERE

THE IDEAS FOR THE CRICKET CAME FROM.

WELCOME BACK TO "EXTREME RVs."

ANDERSON MOBILE ESTATES IS KNOWN FOR THEIR LUXURIOUS RVs,

AND THEIR CURRENT PROJECT

FINDS THEM REVAMPING A STUDIO ON WHEELS

FOR SUPERSTAR SIMON COWELL.

WITH THE ORIGINAL FURNITURE REMOVED,

THE TEAM GETS TO WORK STRIPPING THE COACH DOWN TO THE FRAME.

IT LOOKS LIKE A MESS RIGHT NOW WITH EVERYTHING TORN APART

AND EVERYTHING JUST BEING IN DISARRAY,

BUT WHEN IT COMES TOGETHER, IT'S GONNA BE THE BADDEST THING

THAT ROLLS AROUND ON THE FACE OF THIS PLANET.

THERE IS NO TIME AND A LOT OF PRESSURE,

BUT THIS ISN'T THE ANDERSONS' FIRST RODEO.

THE FIRST ONE WE BUILT WAS THE ASPEN.

ASPEN IS, BY FAR, THE ULTIMATE MAN CAVE.

IT'S VERY RUSTIC, VERY-- JUST LIKE AN ASPEN CABIN,

BIG, HEAVY WOODEN BEAMS THAT GO ACROSS

THAT ARE STAINED REALLY DARK,

BIG, YOU KNOW, 60-INCH TV DOWNSTAIRS, 1080p.

THAT'S WHAT I LOVE. I WANT TO COME INTO AN RV,

AND I JUST WANT TO PLOP DOWN, AND I JUST WANT TO RELAX.

AND THAT'S WHY I LIKE THE ASPEN.

YOU HAVE A FULL PADDED AREA TO PLAY WITH YOUR KIDS,

JUMP AROUND, AND JUST HANG OUT.

IT'S EASY, FUN, SIMPLE, FOOTBALL MAN-CAVE STYLE.

YOU GET A BUNCH OF YOUR BUDDIES IN HERE AND CHILL.

IT'S GOT A FULL INTEGRATED SYSTEM. HIT ONE BUTTON,

TV COMES ON, SATELLITE COMES ON.

EVERYTHING'S A TOUCH OF A BUTTON IN THIS THING.

THESE RVs ARE LOADED TO THE GILLS,

BUT THE BUILDERS DO HAVE WEIGHT LIMITS.

THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW D.O.T. PROTOCOL,

WHICH LIMITS THE WEIGHT OF AN ON-ROAD VEHICLE

TO 80,000 POUNDS.

SO RV BUILDERS HAVE BORROWED WEIGHT-SAVING TECHNIQUES

FROM A COUPLE PLACES.

A LOT OF THE PRODUCTS THAT WE USE

COME FROM THE YACHTING INDUSTRY, COME FROM THE AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY,

TRIED AND PROVEN.

YOU COULDN'T TAKE 25 SLABS OF GRANITE,

PUT IT ON THE TRACTOR TRAILER, AND MOVE IT OVER THE SCALES.

YOU'D BE OVERWEIGHT. SO WHAT WE DO IS WE CUT THIS GRANITE DOWN,

AND THEN WE FIBERGLASS BACK.

SO THIS IS ACTUALLY ONLY ABOUT 1/4-INCH THICK,

BUT WE BUILD THOSE EDGES BACK UP,

AND YOU CAN'T EVER TELL THAT WE TOOK THAT.

BUT IT TAKES 80% OF THE WEIGHT OUT OF THE TRAILER.

NOW HERE'S A TRICK RON CAME UP WITH HIMSELF.

THIS IS GIGGLE GLASS,

AND IF YOU NOTICE, THIS IS ALL OPAQUE,

AND YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE.

BUT WITH THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON, YOU CAN SEE THAT IT GOES CLEAR.

AND BACK ON SIMON'S COACH,

THE CREW CONTINUES WORKING ON EXPANDING THE OPENINGS

FOR THE NEW WINDOWS.

WE HAD TO BUILD ALL OF THIS CUSTOM,

BECAUSE IT DOESN'T EXIST.

WE CAN MONITOR HOW FAR THE WINDOW IS OUT--

HALFWAY OUT, ALL THE WAY OUT.

ALL OF THAT CAN BE MONITORED RIGHT ON THE TOUCH SCREEN.

I'M JUST MAKING SURE EACH ONE OF 'EM FLEX,

EACH ONE IS WORKING BEFORE WE GLUE 'EM IN PERMANENTLY.

MECHANIZED COMPONENTS CAN BE FOUND

ALL OVER THIS INCREDIBLE MACHINE,

FROM THE ACTUATED WINDOWS DOWN TO THE ESSENTIALS.

THE TECMA TOILET, WHICH IS SO CUTTING EDGE.

IT FLUSHES ITSELF.

WHEN YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM, IT SENSES IF YOU PEE OR NOT.

THIS TOILET--IT'S CALLED MACERATOR TECHNOLOGY.

IT BASICALLY GRINDS THE WASTE

AND PUMPS IT UP TO 300 FEET.

(R.J.) IS THIS THE MAIN CONTROL FOR THE TOILET?

ABSOLUTELY. AND WE HAVE THE WATER SAVER FEATURE ON IT

FOR, LIKE, A HALF FLUSH AND THEN A FULL FLUSH.

YOU USE THE BATHROOM. YOU PUSH THE BUTTON, AND YOU WALK AWAY.

WELL, YOU WASH YOUR HANDS. WASH YOUR HANDS, OF COURSE.

BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE AUTOMATED MAGIC

THAT MAKES THIS COACH AMAZING.

THE STYLING CUES AND INTERIOR DESIGN

ARE A HUGE PART OF THIS RV's CHARM.

(Ron) WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE

IS WE'RE CHANGING ALL OF THE PANELS.

THERE'S PROBABLY 60, 70 PANELS TOTAL INSIDE THIS TRAILER,

AND THEY'VE ASKED FOR A LIGHTER SHADE.

YOU'RE GONNA SEE A HUGE DIFFERENCE

IN THE AMOUNT OF NATURAL LIGHT THAT WE GET IN THIS ROOM

BY JUST LIGHTENING UP THESE FABRICS JUST A LITTLE BIT,

LIKE THIS, AND IT GIVES US THIS NICE CLEAN LOOK

THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR ON THE OTHER SIDE.

LET'S TAKE A SIDE TRIP TO HOUSTON, TEXAS,

WHERE FORMER NASA DESIGNER AND SPACE ARCHITECT

GARRETT FINNEY HAS CREATED AN AMAZING MACHINE

THAT'S PART RV, PART SPACE STATION,

AND TOTALLY EXTREME.

HIS IDEA BEHIND CREATING THE CRICKET

WAS TO BUILD AN RV WITH THE CAPABILITY TO BE ANYWHERE

AND EVERYWHERE IN NATURE, JUST LIKE,

WELL, CRICKETS.

THEY'RE EVERYWHERE. THEY'RE ON TOPS OF MOUNTAINS.

THEY'RE BY THE SEASHORE. THEY'RE IN CAVES.

THEY'RE IN SOUTH AMERICA AND NORTH AMERICA.

THEY'RE ACTUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH SUMMERTIME

AND THE GENTLE SOUND IN THE EVENING AND CAMPING.

CRICKETS ARE EVERYWHERE,

AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, EVERYONE LIKES THEM.

GARRETT HAS SHUNNED THE IDEA THAT BIGGER IS BETTER,

OPTING INSTEAD FOR PROVIDING ONLY THE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS

FOR REMOTE LIVING.

LIKE ALL START-UP COMPANIES,

GARRETT SAW A GAP IN THE INDUSTRY

THAT NEEDED TO BE FILLED.

FROM A FAMILY TENT TO A FULL-FLEDGED HOUSE ON WHEELS,

THE CRICKET IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE, AND HOPEFULLY,

IT'S KIND OF A VENN DIAGRAM

OF THE BEST OF BOTH OF THOSE WORLDS.

THE CRICKET IS NOT AN RV.

THE CRICKET IS THE COVERED WAGON OF THE 21st CENTURY.

AND WE'RE GOING TO WATCH ONE CONSTRUCTED

FROM THE GROUND UP.

THIS IS OUR CHASSIS, THE FOUNDATION OF OUR TRAILER.

THEN WE TAKE OUR LASER-CUT FRAME AND PUT THAT ON TOP.

THAT'S OUR SKELETON TO BUILD THE REST OF OUR TRAILER AGAINST.

THIS IS OUR LASER-CUT FRAME,

KIND OF INSPIRED BY MY WORK AT NASA.

HERE WE ARE AT... (speaking indistinctly)

THIS IS WHERE THE SKELETON,

THE FRAMEWORK OF THE CRICKET GETS MADE.

THEIR SOFTWARE TAKES ALL OUR PARTS

AND MAXIMIZES THE OUTPUT ON THE SHEET,

SO THERE'S AS LITTLE WASTE AS POSSIBLE.

SMALL PARTS, BIG PARTS. THIS IS REALLY ALL OUR PARTS.

IT'S OUR SIDE FRAME, OUR DOOR.

NOW IT'S OUR TURN.

WE HAVE TO TAKE ALL THESE PARTS AND ASSEMBLE THEM.

GO MAKE SOME CRICKETS.

PHASE ONE COMPLETE. MOVING ON TO PHASE TWO.

THESE PANELS ARE ALUMINUM COMPOSITES,

ALUMINUM SANDWICHED AROUND E.P.S. FOAM,

WHICH GIVES US RIGIDITY AND STRENGTH AND COLOR,

WHICH IS NICE, BUT ALSO R-VALUE,

SO PERFORMANCE INSULATION TO KEEP YOU HOT FOR IF YOU'RE WARM,

OR COLD, THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT'S DOING OUTSIDE.

AND EVEN THOUGH THESE TRAILERS ARE ON THE SMALLER SIDE,

THEY STILL COME EQUIPPED WITH A WORKING KITCHEN.

IT IS A SMALL SPACE,

BUT IT'S IDEALLY A WELL-THOUGHT-OUT SPACE.

WE WANT TO GIVE YOU JUST ENOUGH KITCHEN,

SO THAT YOU'RE TOTALLY COMFORTABLE,

AND YOU'RE NOT MARRIED TO BEING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE,

BUT YOU'RE ALLOWED TO DO EITHER ONE.

THIS IS THE ELECTRICAL

SORT OF COMMAND CENTER OF THE TRAILER.

IT HAS SWITCHES FOR LIGHTS AND WATER PUMPS

AND HOT WATER HEATERS AND YOUR UTILITY IN 12 VOLTS.

CRICKETS ARE MODULAR BUILDS,

MAKING SERVICE AND REPAIRS A CINCH.

THIS IS OUR PLUG-IN SHOWER COMPONENT,

SO THE SHOWER VALVE FITS IN HERE.

SHOWER

IS A LUXURY IN A SMALL TRAILER,

AND YOU CAN SHOWER INSIDE.

THERE'S A DRAIN IN THE FLOOR.

WE'RE READY TO INSTALL THIS IN THE TRAILER.

BUT BEFORE WE GET INTO INSTALLATION,

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE ORIGINS

OF GARRETT'S SPACE STATION-INSPIRED DESIGN.

WELCOME TO NASA, GARRETT'S OTHER DESIGN JOB.

I'M SITTING HERE AT NASA

INSIDE THE MOCK-UP FOR THE U.S. AIRLOCK.

WE'RE DEALING WITH LIVING IN A VERY SMALL SPACE,

WHICH I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THE CAMERA IS CAPTURING

HOW SMALL THIS IS, BUT IMAGINE LIVING IN HERE FOR SIX MONTHS.

INSPIRED BY, INFLUENCED BY NASA

IS REALLY WHERE THE IDEAS FOR THE CRICKET CAME FROM.

I THINK THIS COUNTS AS THE MOST EXTREME RV IN THE WORLD.

COMING UP...

OH, I LOVE THAT OPERATION.

THE ANDERSON TEAM IS PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES

ON THEIR MOBILE ESTATE.

THE 2-BEDROOM SHOWHAULER

IS PREPPING FOR THE NEW SLIDE-OUT UNIT.

AND GARRETT'S CRICKET

IS FINALLY READY FOR THE GREAT OUTDOORS.

WE'VE SEEN NASA-INSPIRED TECHNOLOGIES

USED TO CREATE ONE OF THE MOST VERSATILE TRAILERS

ON THE PLANET AND WITNESSED THE CONSTRUCTION

OF A FULLY WELDED AND REINFORCED MOBILE FORTRESS.

AND THEN THERE'S SIMON COWELL'S 2-STORY MANSION ON WHEELS.

ALL THREE BUILDS ARE GETTING CLOSER TO COMPLETION,

BUT THERE'S STILL PLENTY OF WORK TO BE DONE.

AND AT ANDERSON MOBILE ESTATES, IT'S TIME TO MAKE PLANS

FOR ADORNING THE CEILINGS OF THIS INCREDIBLE COACH.

SO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS WE'RE GET A THINNER BOARD,

AND WE'RE GONNA EXPAND IT OUT SOME...

OKAY. PROBABLY 4 OR 5 INCHES ON EITHER SIDE

AND THEN WRAP IT IN THE SAME MATERIAL HERE.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE FLOORS,

IT'S ENGINEERED HARDWOOD THROUGHOUT.

THESE ARE 1/2-INCH THICK ENGINEERED WOOD FLOOR.

A NATURAL OAK FLOOR WOULD BE 3/4 THICK

AND 2-INCH PLANKS, BUT THEY COME REAL WARPED,

AND YOU GOT TO BEAT 'EM INTO SUBMISSION.

THIS STUFF'S GOING RIGHT TOGETHER.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PRODUCT.

AND WHILE ANDERSON MOBILE ESTATES

CONTINUES WORK ON SIMON COWELL'S TRAILER,

BACK IN MIDDLEBURY, THE TEAM AT SHOWHAULER

IS PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES

ON THEIR 2-BEDROOM MOBILE MASTERPIECE.

THIS IS THE MAIN SLIDE-OUT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE COACH.

AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS ONE COMPLETE BOX HERE

THAT WE WILL HOIST UP IN THE AIR,

HOOK UP TO THE MECHANISM,

SO IT BASICALLY DOUBLES THE SIZE OF THE INTERIOR SPACE,

ONCE YOU'RE IN A PARKED POSITION.

AND AS THE SHOWHAULER TEAM

BUTTONS UP THE FINISHING TOUCHES,

GARRETT CONTINUES WORK

INSTALLING THE FINAL COMPONENTS IN THE CRICKET.

THAT'S GOOD.

AS THE WALLS ARE SECURED

AND THE EXTERIOR NEARLY COMPLETED,

GARRETT TURNS HIS ATTENTION

BACK TO THE MODULAR KITCHEN UNIT.

THIS IS THE DRAIN FROM OUR SINK.

HERE'S OUR TINY 12-VOLT HOT WATER HEATER

THAT MAKES REALLY HOT WATER

THAT YOU THEN CUT DOWN WITH COLD WATER,

SO IT'S SAFE FOR SHOWERING, ET CETERA.

AND THEN THAT ELECTRICAL SWITCH BOX WE SHOWED YOU EARLY ON

THAT WE INSTALL IN THE KITCHEN, HERE'S THE BACK END OF THAT

THAT POWERS, AGAIN, THE LIGHTS AND THE WATER PUMP, ET CETERA.

HERE WE COME WITH THE TOP PIECE.

NEXT STEP.

A FULLY FUNCTIONAL SINK IS ONE OF THE MANY FEATURES

CRAMMED INTO THE CRICKET'S UTILITARIAN INTERIOR.

WE HAVE BINS THAT FIT IN HERE.

AND THEN THERE'S MORE ROOM FOR MISCELLANEOUS STUFF--

FRISBEES, FOOTBALLS, WHAT HAVE YOU.

AND THEN THESE PANELS COME DOWN AND GET UPHOLSTERED.

THE DESIGN IS SIMPLE AND CLEAN.

FRONT SECTION HAS ITS OWN PILLOW

AND ITS OWN HINGE.

IT ALL FALLS DOWN INTO POSITION

TO CREATE COMFORTABLE SEATING QUARTERS.

THIS IS KIND OF THE FISHING BUDDY SCENARIO.

BUDDY IS OVER HERE.

THIS IS KIND OF THE MORE PARTNER-LIKE SCENARIO

WHERE YOU CAN SNUGGLE.

TABLE JUST SPIRALS IN THERE,

AND WE HAVE THE CAFé-SIZE TABLE.

WE THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO WANT CRICKETS

WANT TO BE OUTSIDE MOST OF THE TIME,

AND THAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT BREAKFAST AND IF IT'S RAINING.

YOU CAN MAKE DO HERE.

THIS IS THE LOCKING BASEPLATE

FOR OUR SUPER-EFFICIENT 12-VOLT REFRIGERATOR FREEZER.

HERE COMES THE SUPER-EFFICIENT

12-VOLT FRIDGE

THAT YOU CAN ALSO RUN AS A FREEZER.

LET ME HOLD THIS UP FOR YOU. IT'S A DEEP BASKET.

IT'S ALSO THE COOK SEAT. IT'S A BENCH. IT'S A BEDSIDE TABLE.

AND YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT AND USE IT IN YOUR HOUSE.

BUT WHAT REALLY BRINGS THE OUTDOORS IN?

WE'RE MOVING THE SAFETY PINS,

LETTING IT RISE UP GENTLY UNASSISTED.

THEN OUR FABRIC SIMPLY VELCROS UP TO THE TOP AND BOTTOM.

THIS FABRIC

IS HIGH TENACITY RIPSTOP POLYESTER

WITH A FLAME-RETARDANT INTERIOR.

GET READY FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE INCREDIBLE

AND ULTRA-DURABLE 2-BEDROOM SHOWHAULER.

(man) HORSEPOWER IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL LACK

WHEN YOU COME TO SHOWHAULER.

AND A COMPLETED CRICKET THAT'S READY TO BE RELEASED

INTO THE WILD.

THE EDITING OUT OF ALL OF THE STUFF

THAT WE BRING BY ACCIDENT.

AND LATER, ANDERSON MOBILE ESTATES

UNVEILS THEIR 2-STORY MANSION ON WHEELS.

I LOVE IT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU COME IN HERE,

YOU'RE IN ANOTHER DIMENSION.

IT'S ALL COMING UP WHEN "EXTREME RVs" RETURNS.

SHOWHAULER HAS COMPLETED

THEIR MULTIROOM FORTRESS ON WHEELS,

AND ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO

IS TAKE A LOOK INSIDE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIT AND FINISH,

THE QUALITY IS SUPERIOR TO ANYTHING THAT'S OUT THERE,

MAYBE NOT ALL THE GLITZ, BUT WE'RE PRACTICAL,

AND WE'RE EFFICIENT, AND WE PRETTY MUCH NEVER BREAK DOWN.

BUT WHAT MAKES THIS RV EXTREME?

THIS PARTICULAR UNIT HAS TWO FULL BATHROOMS,

VERY UNCOMMON FOR AN RV TO HAVE TWO FULL BATHROOMS.

THE ENTIRE UNIT WILL SLEEP EIGHT PEOPLE

BEFORE YOU'D HAVE TO PUT SOMEBODY ON THE FLOOR.

AND THOUGH IT'S A FAMILY HOME ON WHEELS,

IT'LL GET YOU THERE IN A HURRY.

HORSEPOWER IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL LACK

WHEN YOU COME TO SHOWHAULER.

THIS PARTICULAR UNIT HAS 500-PLUS HORSEPOWER,

OVER 1,200 FOOT-POUNDS OF TORQUE

GOING TO THE REAR AXLES.

THEY HAVE A 40,000-POUND CAPACITY HITCH.

YOU CAN TOW WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE.

YOU'VE GOT THE HORSEPOWER TO DO IT.

OUR OutBack 2,800-WATT INVERTER

THAT IS JUST PHENOMENAL.

YOU'RE ABLE TO RUN YOUR REFRIGERATOR,

YOUR TV, THE MAJORITY OF YOUR APPLIANCES INSIDE THE COACH

WITH NEVER HAVING TO TURN ON YOUR GENERATOR

OR BE PLUGGED INTO THE SHOREPOWER.

WELL, NOW WE'RE INTO THE BUSINESS SIDE

OF THE WORLD HERE.

BACKUP CAMERA HERE. QUADRA MANUFACTURING INSTALLED

OUR BIGFOOT LEVELING SYSTEM, WHICH, IF YOU NEED TO,

YOU CAN RAISE THE ENTIRE COACH OFF THE GROUND.

BACK IN THIS AREA,

WE'VE GOT OUR ENTERTAINMENT CENTER RIGHT HERE,

IN-MOTION SATELLITE, HOME SURROUND SOUND THEATER,

NICE L.E.D. TVs,

SOFA, IN CASE YOU WANT TO TAKE A NAP.

THIS IS THE LAZY GUY'S WAY TO MAKE A BED HERE.

SO NOW YOU BASICALLY GOT ANOTHER FULL-SIZE BED.

STEPPING BACK INTO THE KITCHEN AREA,

WE'VE GOT ALL BRAND-NAME HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES.

WE USE A DOUBLE BOWL, DOUBLE BASIN SINK.

THE SINK TOP COVERS ACTUALLY DOUBLE AS CUTTING BOARDS

ON THE OTHER SIDE.

WE HAVE A NICE BIG CONVECTION OVEN,

18-CUBIC-FOOT HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATOR.

BACK HERE, WE HAVE ANOTHER SLIDE-OUT

THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH BUNK BEDS.

WE DO HAVE OPTIONS OF BEING ABLE TO PUT SMALL TVs,

WHATEVER THEY WOULD WANT,

BUT WITH THE ADVENT OF THE iPADS

AND MP3 PLAYERS AND THOSE TYPE OF THINGS,

THEY WANTED THE KIDS TO ACTUALLY GET SOME SLEEP,

SO THAT'S STORAGE FOR THOSE PARTICULAR UNITS.

EACH BUNK HAS ITS OWN

PULL-ACROSS CURTAIN.

WITH THIS UNIT BEING ABLE TO SLEEP EIGHT PEOPLE AT A TIME,

YOU'RE GONNA WANT SOME PRIVACY SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE.

WELCOME TO THE BEDROOM.

THIS IS THE MASTER BEDROOM OF THIS PARTICULAR COACH.

HAS A KING-SIZE BED ON A SLIDE-OUT.

WE'VE GOT NUMEROUS DIFFERENT LIGHTING OPTIONS FOR YOU.

THIS COUPLE CAN TELL EVERYBODY

THAT THEY HAVE A 150-GALLON WATER BED,

EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KING MATTRESS SITTING ON TOP OF A PLATFORM

WITH THE WATER UNDERNEATH IT,

BUT WHO'S--WHO'S COUNTING?

WHERE ELSE COULD YOU FIND AN EXTREME RV LIKE THIS

WHERE YOU HAVE TWO FULL BATHROOMS,

ONE FOR MOM TO USE EXCLUSIVELY FOR HER?

YOU HAVE SLEEPING FOR EIGHT PEOPLE.

EVERYTHING IS CUSTOM BUILT TO THE WAY YOU WANT IT.

AND ONE FINAL FINISHING TOUCH.

SHOWHAULER IS GREEN CERTIFIED,

AND EVERY UNIT WE BUILD

IS GREEN CERTIFIED.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO GREEN,

GARRETT FINNEY'S CRICKET IS HITCHED UP

AND READY TO EXPLORE THE COUNTRYSIDE.

IT'S EFFICIENT, ECO-FRIENDLY, ERGONOMIC,

AND MODELED AFTER NASA's OWN HABITATION MODULE.

WE WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHERE YOU'RE GOING

AND HOW YOU'RE GOING, AND WE WANT YOU TO BE COMFORTABLE

DOING IT, AND WE WANT YOU TO HAVE FUN.

THOSE ARE THE CRICKET RULES.

IT'S GOOD FOR THE SOUL TO GET OUTSIDE,

AND PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT

UNTIL THEY GET BACK OUTSIDE AGAIN.

SO CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE. TAKE A CRICKET.

THIS IS THE FUTURE OF MODERN CAMPING,

AND WITH THE MOBILE PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS,

THERE'S NO WORRIES THAT YOUR CRICKET

WILL EVER RUN OUT OF POWER.

THE NASA EXPERIENCE MAKES ME WANT TO BE

REALLY SORT OF SYSTEMICALLY AND SYSTEMATICALLY EFFICIENT,

SO A LOT OF THE DESIGN IS WHAT IS NOT THERE.

WE USE THE CEILING IN THE CRICKET.

WE'VE PROGRAMMED THE CEILING FOR STORAGE,

FOR INSTANCE, BEDROLL HERE,

L.E.D. LIGHTS, SUPER EFFICIENT.

THEY COME IN RED AND WHITE.

THE RED DOESN'T DILATE YOUR PUPILS

IN CASE YOU'RE A BIG STARGAZER.

BUNGEES, PLACES TO HANG CARABINERS,

HANG YOUR GEAR, DRY OUT WET T-SHIRTS.

OUR BIG WINDOW'S OVER HERE,

CLIPPED SHUT FOR DRIVING, OF COURSE.

OPENS WIDE. THERE'S A SHADE.

THERE'S A SCREEN.

DOWN HERE IS WHERE WE HIDE THE PORTA-POTTY.

IT'S BEHIND THIS DISH TOWEL.

I THINK OF THIS AS THE NIGHTTIME POSITION

FOR THOSE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT EMERGENCIES.

BUT IT'S ALSO JUST A PRODUCT THAT YOU CAN TAKE OUTSIDE,

PUT BEHIND A TREE, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU PREFER.

THE SHOWER PLUGS IN OVER HERE.

IT REACHES OUTSIDE.

YOU CAN ALSO TAKE A SHOWER INSIDE

OR USE THE BATHROOM WITH A LITTLE BIT MORE PRIVACY

BY PULLING OUT THIS SHOWER CURTAIN.

THE CRICKET IS LOADED WITH SAFETY FEATURES,

AND IT'S ALUMINUM, SO IT CAN'T BURN,

BUT THERE'S A FIRE EXTINGUISHER DOWN HERE.

THERE'S A PROPANE AND CO2 DETECTOR.

THE TRAILER'S NOT AS WIDE AS MOST TRAILERS,

PRETTY MUCH THE WIDTH OF A CAR,

SO IT'S REALLY EASY TO TOW AND BACK UP.

IF THERE WERE TWO OF ME, I COULD SHOW YOU

HOW EASILY TWO OF US COULD DANCE AROUND THE KITCHEN.

AND BY PUTTING A SHORTER LEG ON THE TABLE,

WE CAN MAKE THE BIGGEST SIZE BED

THAT WE OFFER.

FILLS OUT OUR RECTANGLE OF SLEEPING,

AND NOW THIS WIDTH IS A QUEEN-SIZE BED WIDTH.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO KICK BACK AND RELAX.

YOU CAN CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE. I'M GONNA DO SOME READING

IN THE SHADE OF THE BACK DOOR,

THE BACK PORCH.

COMING UP, IT'S THE MOMENT THAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.

SIMON COWELL'S MOBILE MANSION

IS READY TO HIT THE RED CARPET.

I'M THRILLED WITH THE WAY THAT IT TURNED OUT.

**

THE ANDERSON FAMILY

HAS COMPLETED SIMON COWELL'S ONE-OF-A-KIND RV,

AND THEY'RE READY TO SHOW IT OFF.

WE WANTED TO CREATE

A NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART VEHICLE

FOR THE RV INDUSTRY, AND WE DID IT.

I'M THRILLED WITH THE WAY THAT IT TURNED OUT,

AND OUR CLIENT'S THRILLED, SO I COULDN'T EVEN BE MORE HAPPY.

SOME OF THE COOLEST FEATURES--

YOU HAVE FULL INTEGRATED SYSTEMS.

I MEAN, EVERYTHING'S SO FLUID. EVERYTHING'S SO SEXY.

POSITIONED BETWEEN THE FULLY AUTOMATED WINDOWS

IS A FLAT-SCREEN TV FOR OUTSIDE VIEWING,

BUT THE REAL WONDER

IS THE GUARDIAN 24/7 MEDICAL UNIT.

DR. DARLING.

How may I help you today?

FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME I MET YOU,

HAVING SPENT 15 YEARS IN MEDICINE MYSELF,

I KNEW THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

IT HAS TO GO THERE. You have our service,

or one of your clients has our service,

and they call us up

with what is a true medical emergency,

we're there within 30 or 60 seconds

instituting the critical emergency care

that's gonna save their lives.

THIS DOOR COMES OPEN

AND EXPOSES ALL OUR MEDICAL EQUIPMENT.

THIS IS THE DEFIBRILLATOR THAT'S ALL AUTOMATIC.

(man) OPEN GREAT PLASTIC CASE

AND PEEL OFF WHITE ADHESIVE PATCH.

THIS IS OUR E.K.G. GLOVE

THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SLIP ON YOUR ARM AND DO YOUR OWN E.K.G.

PULSE MONITOR, THE EAR SCOPE, THROAT SCOPE.

WE HAVE A REMOTE-CONTROL STETHOSCOPE,

REMOTE-CONTROL BLOOD PRESSURE CUFFS,

AND EVEN A HIGH-DEFINITION CAMERA

THAT YOU CAN MOVE OVER THE PATIENT,

OR THE PATIENT CAN MOVE OVER THEMSELVES.

ALL BY YOURSELF, JUST YOU AND THE DOCTOR,

AND DIAGNOSE YOUR SITUATION.

(narrator) ONE ITEM THAT CAN'T BE OVERLOOKED

IS THE NEWLY INSTALLED SECOND BATHROOM.

(R.J.) WE DID USE SOME REALLY COOL PRODUCTS IN THERE,

THE TECMA TOILET, WHICH IS SO CUTTING-EDGE.

IT FLUSHES ITSELF. IT'S LIKE A $3,000 TOILET.

McKENZIE CAME UP WITH, LIKE, A FLOATING SINK,

WHICH I'VE ALWAYS LOVED. IT'S VERY MODERN

AND ALSO LIKE A WATERFALL FAUCET.

IT'S RIDICULOUS.

AND ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS

RUN OFF THIS $100,000 A.M.X. COMPUTER SYSTEM.

THIS IS THE HEART OF THIS UNIT.

THIS IS WHERE WE PULLED OVER 20,0000 OF CABLING INTO.

EVERYTHING IS AUTOMATED THROUGH THIS SYSTEM.

ALL ACCESSED BY A SINGLE TABLET.

FROM HERE, I CAN CONTROL THE ENTIRE TRAILER.

EVERYTHING IS AT A TOUCH OF A BUTTON.

YOU CAN OPEN THE WINDOWS. YOU CAN TURN THE A.C. ON.

EVERYTHING IS JUST INTEGRATED RIGHT HERE. HOW NICE IS THAT?

AND THE ANDERSON FAMILY WOULDN'T BUILD AN RV

WITHOUT THEIR SIGNATURE GIGGLE GLASS.

**

YOU WANT EXTREME?

DOWNSTAIRS, WE HAVE A FULL 3-D THEATER,

65-INCH TV WITH 6.1 SURROUND SOUND.

WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THIS TRAILER

IS BE BOLD AND FEARLESS

AND DO SOMETHING THAT WE'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE.

I LOVE IT, BECAUSE WHEN YOU COME IN HERE,

YOU KNOW YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IN A NEW PLACE.

YOU'RE IN ANOTHER DIMENSION.

BLACK GALAXY GRANITE WITH THE ULTRA LEATHER

AND THE ITALIAN LEATHER.

AND THEN THE CEILING-- WE HAVE THE WHITE ULTRA LEATHER

AND THEN THE OUTLINE OF THE TRAILER WITH BLACK

TO TIE IN WITH THE BLACK GALAXY GRANITE.

WHAT WE WANTED TO BRING TO THE FLOOR IS A LIGHTER FLOOR,

BUT WE BROUGHT AN ENGINEERED FLOOR

AS OPPOSED TO A NATURAL WOOD,

SO IT COULD HANDLE DIFFERENT CLIMATE CHANGES.

AND IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH...

WE HAVE A 360-DEGREE VIEW ALL THE WAY AROUND.

WE ALSO HAVE A BANGING CONCERT-GRADE SOUND SYSTEM.

THERE'S NO LIGHT SWITCHES IN THE ENTIRE TRAILER.

EVERYTHING IS ON TOUCH SCREENS,

AND YOU HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THAT

ANYWHERE YOU ARE IN THE TRAILER.

I LOVE THE WAY THIS TRAILER CAME OUT. I'M SO HAPPY.

I CAN'T WAIT TO DO THE NEXT ONE. OH, MY GOSH.

THREE RADICALLY DIFFERENT BUILDERS

CREATING THREE VERY FUN WAYS TO RE-CREATE THE OUTDOORS.

SEE YOU DOWN THE ROAD

ON THE NEXT "EXTREME RVs."
