Inside a $2.7 Million RV That 'Feels Like a Private Jet'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A video showcasing a luxury motorhome with a price tag just shy of $2.7 million has gone viral on YouTube, as the idea of alternative living arrangements grows amid a U.S. housing market affordability crisis. The video was shared on Fuel Your Wander (@fuelyourwander), the YouTube channel of 38-year-old Hillary and 58-year-old Kris, who are an "age gap couple who gave up the traditional 9-5 to pursue a life less ordinary," the couple told Newsweek. The clip, which has had over 5 million views since it was posted on February 27, offers an inside look at a 2026 Newell Coach motorhome, which Hillary describes as "one of the most high-end coaches on the market." The video begins with Hillary inviting viewers: "Want to see the inside of a multi-million dollar luxury house on wheels? This is a brand new 2026 new motor home and is one of the most high-end coaches on the market." According to the couple, "No one was living in it at the time of filming, it's currently for sale through the manufacturer—Newell Coach. They have a two-year waiting list for new custom builds." The RV, about 400 square feet with the slides extended, is designed for two people to live in, though the couple noted that "these can be custom designed to fit more people if needed." Among the standout features is the cockpit, which the couple told Newsweek "feels like a private jet." They added: "The ride is insanely smooth, quality of finishes is top notch, and everything's fully automated—from lighting to blinds. No two interiors are the same, which is part of what makes them so special and pricey." Hillary points out in the video: "This beauty is currently listed for sale at just under $2.7 million." The video tour comes as Americans continue to face a housing crisis. Millions of potential buyers have been "priced out of the market by elevated home prices and interest rates," according to a 2024 report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University. The report also found that about half of U.S. renter households are now burdened by housing costs, with around 12.1 million households classified as "severely cost-burdened," spending more than half their income on housing.

"We both used to work remote jobs in healthcare tech for a Fortune 500 company, where we met, but now we're full-time content creators, sharing our RV adventures and inspiring others to explore life on the road." For some, alternative housing like luxury RVs offer a more mobile, flexible lifestyle. According to the couple, Newell coaches are not simply RVs, but highly tailored luxury homes on wheels. "Newell coaches are custom-built from the ground up, starting with a custom chassis and a 605 HP engine. You're not just buying an RV, you're getting a fully tailored luxury home on wheels. The most expensive parts are the chassis, engine, frame and all the high-end materials—think real wood, marble, premium furnishings, and advanced tech," they told Newsweek. Hillary highlights features that might appeal to those seeking high-end comfort on the road. She says in the video: "This is built on a completely custom chassis and has four slides to maximize the interior living space. The inside feels huge—the living area features a comfy sofa with a credenza that offers storage and can be used as a workspace." She loves the "stunning" kitchen and its large pantry with tons of storage and its high-end appliances, with her favorite feature being the Invisacook induction cooktop, a countertop that you can cook directly on. The kitchen also has a dinette booth and large seamless windows throughout the space. In the rear of the coach, the main bedroom comes with a striking ceiling design and a projector system, plus a large window and wardrobe space. Its full bathroom is "one of the biggest we've seen in a Newell coach," Hillary says, offering lots of storage with a large vanity. Her favorite part of the bathroom is the "huge" shower, which has "a gorgeous design with the full marble back wall and the darker accent tiles on the sides." As for whether such a high-end purchase is worth the price tag, the couple said that if you have the money to spend, a Newell is "absolutely" worth it. They also noted that there are more affordable options for those looking to adopt the RV lifestyle. "The quality, customization, and engineering are next level. But there are other great options out there too. Our American Coach motorhome has most of the same features and size, at about a third of the price. It really comes down to what fits your budget and travel style," the couple told Newsweek. Do you have a home-related video or story to share?
