The inside appears to have slides. Does the outside?

RustyThere appears to be a slide seam in the first photo. The coach appears in the exterior views to have a one-piece windshield; the interior shots show a two-piece.
The same applies to curtains - blue from the exterior, none in the interior.

(Not that it matters, of course) Let's remember this when we decide to sell on E-Bay: post a lavish interior from a 40' with our P-30 exterior.
"Can't figure out the brand, but the interior looks like a Newell."
That's a European (or Brit?) Show -check out the overhead signage- and no Uhmericuun, esp a model, would be caught on camera wearing bellbottoms.
Gunner, this is my bad for causing all the confusion

The original email that I received had two coaches with interior shots of both. I didn't pay any attention to which shots went with which coach. I just liked the Mercedes toad in the belly. Here are some of the other pictures that were in the email. I won't post them all but you get the idea. One coach definitely has slides and big windows.

RustyMust a coach other than the top one shown in the interior shots - split windshield and wiper parking position

Ed ChevalierI just saw this motorhome on Top Gear last night. It is made by Volkner Mobil of Germany on either a Volvo or Mercedes chassis with a small 12 liter engine. Check it out on Youtube

In the video they say, without the car, this coach cost 750,000 British pounds. In todays dollars that comes out to $1,490,325 U.S. dollars.
The engine size is stated to be 12,000 cc. turbo. Converted for you 12,000 cc or 732.284 CID or, as Ed pointed out, 12 liters.
