Incredibly the lounge sits on a genius sliding system which allows compartments to magically extend outwards, trebling the size of the RV.
“Within a very short space of time, you’ve got a house!”, Rob quips.
A king-sized bedroom is located at the other end of the trailer with a dresser, TV and a panoramic window.
A small set of stairs then takes the guests to a twin room in the loft.
A bathroom with a walk-in shower, porcelain toilet and sink finish off the epic American trailer.
Elsewhere in his fleet – worth a staggering million pounds in total – are beasts that can sleep up to eight people comfortably.
Rob delivers the trailers himself, often to punters at racetracks and motor circuits up and down the country.
He even delivers to Glastonbury, telling the show its “a nightmare” getting into the world-renowned Somerset festival because of the single-track roads.
Rob even modifies the American RV’s to suit English tastes, such as changing the work tops and and putting tea mugs in for Brits that love a brew.

The trailer is then “presented” to punters – with towels, a stocked fridge and posh soaps in the bathrooms to add that luxurious finish.
And he even puts a point on the toilet rolls for that added taste of the highlife.
