2008 Marathon H3-45

NEWS & REVIEWS When you have money—serious money—and you need the best motor home that money can buy, who do you turn to? You call up Oregon-based Marathon Coach. You can easily spend two million or more on creating a palace on wheels. Current owners include Tom Cruise, Tim Allen, Paul Newman, and Jeff Gordon. In fact, Mr. Gordon is about to take delivery of his latest Marathon right about now. It’s a triple-slide, based on a Prevost H3-45 shell, that the NASCAR driver and his wife Ingrid have designed personally to be the best of the best. When you’re on the road as much as Gordon is—and now the couple has a new daughter to look after—you need serious creature comforts. Like pinwheel-pattern marble, the best Spinneybeck leather, five televisions, and an adjustable bed. And with a 14-liter Detroit turbo diesel in the back, getting to the race on time shouldn’t be a problem. www.marathancoach.com PHOTOS: click photos to enlarge
