I"m just trying to get a mental picture of this vehicle's insides beyond "large RV with command centre" as the outsides has a nice picture.
Rover Model 2072
Bigger and more powerful than it needs to be, this luxury van is the top-of-the-line in its class, and just as much of a status symbol as the Bentley. On top of that, it packs intimidating size and all the accessories for cruising through the wilderness. Or, more commonly, through elite urban neighborhoods. This expensive vehicle is gaining more and more popularity with discreet security details for its combination of status and security
So does anyone have any suggestions of modern RV's/Armoured Cars that would help to look at for an idea of how the insides would be laid out please?

Wow, now I want one. ;D
-
Hmm needs a little modification to allow sleeping, showers and the like in order to meet all the comforts of home but that's easy enough to do thanks that helps a lot and yes that's an extremely impressive (and expensive van)
-
To be fair that's just a van/suv not a RV like the rover.
-
The Rover is not an RV. Not sure where y'all are getting that visual from.
-
I've got to stop posting when I haven't slept. I was thinking of the Buffalo, my mistake.

I don't mind I'm just combining it with this http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2206718/The-1-2million-motorhome-state-art-kitchen-luxury-entertainment-storage-supercar.html and slotting the entertainment/control section into the lounge. I could manage the luxury living but the work part was giving me problems for some reason.
So you have all those touch screens, trid projectors (shadowrun not modern sadly), dataports etc etc. You can watch the world series or tele-confrence. Fully sealed and workable so no one can hear what's happening inside. Maybe throw a airplane security style door on either side. So you enter the van from the side and gain access to the confrence/entertainment section via an armoured car style door. However to access the drivers compartment or the living accomdation you need to enter a code to unlock the door? Throw in some weapon mounts and surveliance cameras around the outside and for the car instead of a state of the art sports car have a modified undercover police cruiser for your area. You move around in your luxourious commmand centre and can deploy a "police car" if need be for certain ops. Very, very tempting, then of course there's all the options listed there to flesh out the fluff.
1) Ventilated, heated, massaging seats with footrest (in the lounge area not the driving compartment although that does have the other options) and drawer compartments.
2) Armoured.
3) Automatic Shift/Manual Shift (if you can combine the two. I'm not a mechanic but I'm sort of hoping you can if you have the money install both and toggle between them with a button. Automatic for convenience in city driving, manual for better control in less built up areas) with air suspension.
4) Interior control with your comlink/DNI that can be disabled for touchscreen only from either the living or drivers compartment but not the central area when you need extra security.
5) All custom moulded so the seats blend seamlessly into the walls.
6) Sliding bulletproof sunroof over the centre section perhaps (debating on this one could be better to keep it plane to avoid a weakpoint).
7) Make up mirror (A girl does need to look good for some situations).
8) Dimmer lights.
9) Venting system that can be sealed.
10) Side and ceiling lighting.
11) Folding electric tables that slide into the walls.
12) Bar integrated into one sidewall with lighting in the lounge area and rotating coffee machine in the other.
13) Integrated shelving and storage.
14) Biometric Safe.
15) Numerous outlets to plug components into.
16) Option to cover any windows (What on earth is Keine anyway as that's the alternative to curtains).
17) Multimedia centre.
18) Surround sound and retractable trid projector.
19) Multi-grid subscription.
20) 4 screen subsystem to watch multiple things at once.
21) Camera's covering the surroudings.
22) Entertainment systems (whatever the shadowrun version of a playstation/xbox/pc is if such a thing exists).
23) Satlink.
24) AC.
25) High power external lighting systems.
26) Intercom.
27) Coolbox in the lounge "Wine Mr Bond?"
28) Umbrella Holder.
29) Adjustable reading lamps.
30) Upholstered dashboard and doors (again I don't recognize half their options) all coloured to taste, me I like old world style with "wood" panels and the like.
and of course if your feeling adventurous you can recycle the air/water using a mage with cleanse element air and cleanse element water.

I'd imagine since it seats 6 it would be laid out as 2 up front, 2 near the cargo door, probably on swivel chairs, and then a bench in the back for 2 more.
That link is through the roof & is likely 6 figures IMHO.
Its got really nice features but its not a rolling house. Its still a 6 passenger Van although I'd guess since its "bigger" that the size of it is closer to a "Short Bus" v/s the "A-Team" van. So no "ducking" to get in really or squeezing behind 1 seat to get to the next.
Its probably the size of the smaller UPS trucks, basically the Bulldog, but with a luxury style instead of a packaging style.

@Tarsilar
1.2 million so definately 6 figures.
As for the Ares 2072 I thought it would be a state of the art vehicle like that because its described as more luxurious than it needs to be and has all the requirements to cruise through the wilderness as well as costing enough for half a year living the high lifestyle. Your right though on double checking the description it is described as a Van.
Rover Model 2072
Bigger and more powerful than it needs to be, this luxury van is the top-of-the-line in its class, and just as much of a status symbol as the Bentley. On top of that, it packs intimidating size and all the accessories for cruising through the wilderness. Or, more commonly, through elite urban neighborhoods. This expensive vehicle is gaining more and more popularity with discreet security details for its combination of status and security.
so maybe more like that T5 one linked earlier but in that case are there any acutal RV's in the system, maybe in an earlier version? For when your operating outside living accomdations and want a secure base/command centre.

Actual RVs from SR3-Rigger-3
Ford-Canada Bison, Dodge Wanderer, Winnebago Sojourner, & Renraku Typhoon
All have 2 basic "Living Amenities" & off road suspension
Rolls-Royce Prairie Cat, Itasaca Limitless, Dodge California, & Celebrian Celestine.
All are 4x4, Amphibious, Satelite Uplink, & 2 "Improved" Living Amenities.
Both of those are over 6 figures.
I think the Ford-Canada Buffalo mentioned above might also be an RV, or maybe its an SUV like a full size Blazer/Bronco, I forget.
Also the Vokswagen Superkombi III uses the Van chassis but has a version labeled RV. 4 Single Seats, 2 Bench Seats, no "Living Amenities"
-
Ah thanks so guess I need to wait and see if they get added later then thanks.
-
I would honestly say the closest thing to RV sized really is the Ares Roadmaster.
I mean it seats 8 so there has to be room for some fold down cots at least. Sure no bathroom/water etc etc.
But if I had to travel in a home away from home, that would be what I'd use, well for ground mode anyway.
-
Depends how much money you have if you can get the RV I linked up thread crossed with an armoured car hehe. Still I'll wait and see if they give us a proper RV for mobile transport.

here are 2 Versions of the Rover 2068 (from SR4A)

and from Raben -Aas

( ok, I have to admit that is the Military version of the Rover 2057)
HokaHey
Medicineman
-
Yeah those look a lot less RV like than the one in the core book.
-
I always thought it was more of a chelsea tractor. You know, those luxury SUVs that can go off-road but never do, unless you count the gravel on the driveway to the mansion.
-
The Rover says Van and that is pretty clearly what is in the CRB picture.
WOw, those SR4 models don't even look like vans, more like a SUV turned into IFV they have so much armor on them.
-
Okay, so I found these Van pics.
1. Here I like the look for the feel that it might have a very nice enclosed luxury rear cabin area.

2. I just like that beefy GMC full size look.
