While some would argue that recreational vehicles (RVs) are not associated with a luxurious lifestyle, the Furrion Elysium aims to change this perception. Featuring a truly luxury design, the Furrion Elysium is packed with an open-air hot tub, a rooftop deck and even a mini personal helicopter.
The interior space of the Furrion Elysium RV is even more luxurious than the exterior with a number of features that make it a contender for being nicer than the average home. An induction cooktop, dishwasher and even a fireplace round off the Furrion Elysium RV as being a fantastic way to partake in glamping as you see the great outdoors. The vehicle is a conceptual creation from the brand and purported to cost several million if it were to ever make it to market.
