An RV with two floors complete with an elevator to shuttle back and forth has been unveiled by Chinese automaker Maxus.

With travelers weary about staying in hotels or using public transport during the current pandemic, it could be the ideal time to purchase such a vehicle, although at $413,000 it doesn’t come cheap.

The highlight of the vehicle is the roof which extends upwards to reveal an entire second floor including a balcony on which people can step out and take in the view.
