The Brabus Big Boy RV Is Exactly as Ridiculous as It Sounds

  • Brabus teamed up with Belgium's STX Motorhomes for a custom Mercedes-Benz RV.
  • It features an all-black exterior and a custom interior with leather, wood, and Alcantara accents.
  • Brabus asks €1.3 million for the Big Boy 1200 RV, or approximately $1.4 million.

Brabus makes truly outrageous vehicles. Recently the German tuner introduced a carbon-bodied SL shooting brake, and prior to that, the shop shoved 930 horsepower under the hood of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. But this might be the wildest Brabus build we've ever seen.

It's called the Big Boy 1200. That's right, the Big Boy. And as you can probably tell, this is no supercar. Built alongside Belgium's STX Motorhomes, Brabus transformed a run-of-the-mill Mercedes Actros RV into a mansion on wheels.

At a daunting 39.4 feet long and 8.2 feet wide, the Brabus Big Boy (fun to say) has tons of room for activities. It features 323.0 square feet of luxurious living space and comes with dual electrically extendable slide-outs on either side that expand the bedroom to 14.8 feet wide.

The all-black exterior gives the Big Boy a “murdered-out” look, complete with a massive Brabus roundel on the front grille. Even more Brabus logos and stickers litter the side and rear of the RV—just so everyone knows what you're driving.

Step onto the electronic power folding staircase, and the interior, as you'd expect, is properly posh. The front driver and passenger get perforated leather seats with triangle stitching. A 63.0-inch wide bed folds down just above them. The living room has two sofas upholstered in the same quilted leather as the front seats, and the floor features a premium carpet. Brabus also added matte wood and Alcantara accents throughout the cabin.

And there's plenty of tech to go around. Brabus added a Starlink satellite dish with a Wi-Fi router to keep the Big Boy connected while on the road, as well as two 43-inch 4K TVs, a PS5 gaming console, and a premium audio system.

The kitchen comes with a dual sink, an oven, a dishwasher, and a full-size fridge. There's a second smaller fridge—for wine, of course—and a built-in coffee machine. There's even a fancy marble-lined toilet room with an adjacent shower.

The Brabus Big Boy 1200 is powered by a beefy 12.8-liter six-cylinder turbodiesel engine. It makes 530 hp and 1,918 pound-feet of torque, more than enough to move this massive RV. That said, it does have a limited top speed of just 56 miles per hour.

All this extravagance doesn't come cheap. Brabus asks €1.3 million (approximately $1.4 million) for its Big Boy 1200 RV, and we expect it will be limited to just a handful of examples.
