Yes. I know. It's from the "Long Long Trailer" (1954). I've seen it before. Probably on TCM. I still don't see how that car could pull all that. Thinking about the movie has given me second thoughts about this whole "endeavor."

Of course all the options we are looking at use Cummins or Detroit diesels. So I am optimistic... Well, sort of.

Here's a few scenes from the movie. 1954 I believe was before the US Interstate system. The trek through the mountains is scary. I have driven through the Rockies twice. Interstate 70 today is a lot better than wherever he is in the movie.

(Lucille Ball was known as a comedienne but also considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. The last picture is of course one option I am considering. My wife not so much.

Prevost makes many of the actual "tour buses" used by bands and celebrities. They are the same dimensions as the "Class A's" we've been considering but are outfitted with bunks and other stuff more appropriate for a band and appear to be taller. The black one pictured has a "margarita machine" for example and sleeps 12. They are upwards of $1,000,000-$2,000,000 USD in some cases. So I don't think we'll be getting one of those... Unless Taylor wants to give me hers. )
