Super yacht-inspired RV
Riva delivers nautical style in new Land YachtSister online site caravancampingsales.com.au has kindly shared the news of a new Land Yacht Concept featuring the type of luxury interior you’d normally find floating on the French Riviera.
Officinia Italiana Design, the designers of Riva motoryachts, joined forces with iconic American RV brand, Airstream, to create a very cool caravan interior inspired by the sleek and sophisticated cabins of multi-million dollar luxury yachts.
Airstream also collaborated with Italian firm Tecnoform, known for its fine cabinetry, to create a glamorous interior design said to “incorporate elements of the finest watercraft.”
??Inside, the nautical look is most apparent in the modified flooring, which uses high-lustre teak with a white wood-inlay, boat-deck flooring for a “truly yacht-like” experience.
Capable of sleeping up to five people, the Land Yacht Concept has a typical Airstream layout of front bedroom, separate shower and bathroom amidships and large dinette and separate lounge at the rear. The small kitchen galley can be hidden when not in use. ??
Combining comfort with convenience, the Land Yacht features a powered bed lift for accessing the hidden storage area, and three power awnings operated via remote control. There’s also a whisper-quiet ducted air conditioning system, two LCD TVs, water heater and separate ‘furnace’ heater. ??
“Crafted with quality materials and equipment throughout”, the 28ft long Airstream is fitted with LED panel lighting elements, Corian benchtops and plush Ultraleather-covered seating.??
Tipping the scales at a bulky 3447kg fully loaded, the Land Yacht weighs about the same as the Airstream International Serenity 62 model, which recently went on sale in Australia for $135,000.
No word yet on whether the Land Yacht concept will make it to production, or be available Down Under, but if it does, expect an even loftier pricetag than any ‘standard’ polished-aluminium Airstream for this level of RV exclusivity...?
While it doesn't float long enough to entice we boating folk, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. So it's refreshing to see designers of land-based conveyances looking to boats for inspiration. Normally, boats are trying to become more like houses and, sometimes, caravans.
