One of the best ways to travel and explore is to go on a road trip. This allows you to travel at your own pace, have stopped when you need to, and even go off the beaten path. And of course, if you are planning for the ultimate road trip, the best vehicle to take is a recreational vehicle or RV.

This allows you to carry a tiny home with you wherever you go so you can have everything you need while doing long road trips – no need to check in on cheap motels cause you can sleep in it! There are a lot of different RVs out there. Read on to see some of the most bizarre motorhomes from around the world.

Will Smith’s “The Heat”
RVs are quite popular for celebrities who want to have their own space on set where they can rest or cool off while waiting for their scenes. Will Smith’s motorhome is a mansion on wheels.

The Heat has the main lounge area, a kitchen, a makeup area that has a TV, and a personal bathroom. The good news is that Will Smith rents out his RV for a weekly fee if he does not use it so if you have the cash, you might have the chance to go on a road trip with a celebrity-level RV.
Winnebago Brave
If you prefer an RV with a vintage look but with modern amenities, you should check out the Winnebago Brave. The Winnebago was an RV hit in the 1960s and 1970s and it still looks good right now. The interior design of this model will take you back in time too.

Although the Winnebago Brave looks very vintage inside and out, it comes with modern and useful amenities that were not available back then. And what makes it good is that it comes with a more affordable price tag compared to the rest of the motorhomes on this list. You can also choose from a wide range of interior design layouts and colors.
Futuria Motorhome
The Futuria is a party RV mobile home from Germany. As you can see it is a sleek and elegant RV that carries a car. The top of the RV doubles as a deck where you can host parties or just hang out and enjoy the sun and fresh air.

Global XRS 7200
This 6×6 camper designed by Action Mobil was created when they realized a 4×4 RV could not survive on a backcountry road trip in Africa. The two extra wheels give less pressure on the ground so you do not have to worry about your vehicle getting stuck in the mud. Having six wheels also give you more hold on slippery roads.

The exterior may look very plain and rugged but the interior is very sleek and modern. You get the main dining space and a separate breakfast nook. Plus operating it is much easier because of the touchscreen interface. The RV also has Wi-Fi receivers so you can often post updates while you are on the road.
Customized motorhome hauler
Imagine how cool it is to be spotting this RV on the road. This motorhome is capable of hauling another vehicle. And you can use that vehicle in case your RV breaks down so you do not have to get stuck somewhere unfamiliar.

The three wheels on the ramp that hauls the other vehicle are there to accommodate the weight of the vehicle. Obviously, the living quarters are tinier to make room for the hauler but it is obviously worth it.
Global X Vehicles Pangea Lifting Roof
Now, this is one RV that will surely catch anyone’s attention with its bright orange color. The Pangea Lifting Roof from Global Expedition Vehicles is often referred to as the “Perky Mog.” Don’t let the size of the 4×4 RV fool you into thinking it does not have enough space. Once the loft area is exposed, it can hold up to two queen-sized beds.

A Perky Mog is always a unique build. This is because an owner can choose their preferred layout every time they order one. Most of the Perky Mogs on the rode are tailor-made to match the specifications of the buyers so you never really know what you see once you step in one.
Doug Tolbert’s Powerhouse
Are you the type who “packs the whole house” with you every time you travel? You should check out Powerhouse, Doug Tolbert’s massive and long RV. The whole thing is 122 feet long and has a sleeping and living room for eight people.
Source: The Grizzled
The Powerhouse can haul a boat and a 38,000-pound trailer. There is probably no other RV that can drag around all that weight at a manageable speed. Although this gives you the luxury of a 5-star hotel, its length can be a downfall. You can’t drive something that long in some areas so you have to check out your destination first.
Converted Willys Jeep Truck
This looks like a motorhome that can survive an apocalypse. This conversion results in a 4-wheel drive transforming into a 6×6 camper with farm tractor tires. Anything monstrous that gets in the way will definitely not make it out alive.

The camper cab is customized but it clearly only has enough space for one or two people. Despite the lack of space, it is a great functional and rugged customized RV. It is definitely great for a couple who is in to adventure and roughing it out off-grid.
Action Mobil Atacama 6300
The Atacama is considered to be a powerful, rugged, all-terrain RV that has high-end interiors. It is the perfect motorhome for those who want to frequent mountains or remote areas but still live in luxury or those who want a high-tech mobile home.

Earthroamer XV HD
This may look like a simple RV but the interior is designed to allow six people to sleep comfortably. Plus it is one of the best motorhomes to get if you plan to go off-road or live off-grid for a few days. It is one of the best RVs for those who are looking for adventure in the wilderness.

Aside from a battery bank, the Earthroamer XV HD has solar panels to ensure that your mobile home has a power all the time. It can carry 200 gallons of water and comes with a washer/dryer unit so you can do your laundry anytime.
Mercedes-Benz Unimog
The Unimog is like an all-terrain RV on steroids. The inside of this motorhome looks like a spaceship with an electronics bank on one wall of the cabin. The driver’s cab also has a ton of switches and buttons that will make you feel like you are driving a spaceship.

This RV can tackle 45-degree slopes and you won’t even feel a thing thanks to its Kevlar tires and a strong and stable suspension cable. So, you can go through bumpy roads and the people in your living quarters would not feel any discomfort. It is probably one of the most bad-ass ways to go on a road trip.
Knaus Sun I
If you want a small luxury penthouse on wheels for your next road trip then you should check out the Knaus Sun I. It may look like the usual luxury RV from the outside but things are the entirely different one you step inside.

Action Mobil Desert Challenger
The Desert Challenger may look overwhelming at first because of its massive size. That is because the frame of this vehicle was originally designed to carry missiles. But that just means it is a powerful RV capable of storing all the supplies you need like drinking water, gas, and battery.

Despite its bulky exterior, you are going to live in style. The interior has leather and wooden features giving the cabin a warm and inviting vibe that will remind you of home.
Ferrari RV
The Ferrari racing team recently put their huge RV on the market. The motorhome was last used by Michael Schumacher’s team when he goes around the world doing races.. Now that his racing days are over, the famous red RV is up for sale.

The Ferrari RV consists of two trailers that are joined together once it has found a spot to settle. When combined, you get a living space that is larger than 200 square meters. This gave the team living quarters and office in one place no matter where the race is.
David Castillo’s Alaskan Cruiser
If you are looking for something small yet unique, you should check out this motorcycle RV hybrid. This unique creation is a custom RV created by David Castillo. He calls it the Alaskan Cruiser and it uses a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Obviously, you can’t take this off-grid but it is great if you are just passing by cities.

One look at this bad boy and you just know that it demands attention. David’s wife shared that it gets a crowd every time they do a stop on the road. David also has a 5-wheel version of this creation which offers more room for its living quarters.

Cool Amphibious Manufacturers International (CAMI) was able to build a special and spacious RV that functions on land and water. This motor coach and yacht combo are known as the Terra Wind Amphibious RV.
