Yes, the last set of wheels turn. It was built by a Finnish immigrant living in the US, a mechanic by trade. The front is from a early '60s Chrysler.

He uses "The Silver Turbo: for camping on long distance road trips.

This is what he uses for short trips. It comes with an additional trailer with a dedicated sauna.

I saw that on The Simpsons. I think it was called The Homer.

I've seen this hideous thing before.

It is featured in a book "Mobile Mansions" by Douglas Keisten.

The author of the book claims Finnish immigrant Antti Rahko welded two '83 MB wagons together in 2000 and then got to work on 'accessorizing' his 30 foot creation. Says there are two driven axles and has logged over 235K miles as of spring 2005.
