Then, in the fall of 2012 when we took the Coach House factory tour, we actually talked with the guy that built it. If it's the one we saw, it was build for a movie executive in LA, originally. The factory guy told us they had done maybe a dozen of these 4x4 rigs over the years.
Their coaches are really nice (of course, we think that because we eventually bought one), but I had my doubts about how much use the 4x4 would be on a motor home this size. You definitely aren't going to be canyon running or rock crawling with that!
Nice motorhome, though!
Oh, yeah -- the nomenclature Coach House uses is a bit strange -- that "272" is actually 31 feet long. Our "241" is 25'9". The "241" placard has been useful a couple of times, though, when park campgrounds had length limits. "Oh, sure, it's under 25', see the label?"...! So far, nobody has called us on it.
