On the trucks side, here is a cool one… The Turtle V
It was built using Ford F550 chassis on which an aluminum exoskeleton was welded and attached to the frame rails using a three-point suspension system copied from European campers. 1 1/2-inch Nida Core panels were then attached to the aluminum frame using a Sikaflex marine adhesive.

Now if you have money coming out of your ears and want to be completely over the top, here is the MaxiMog.
A cool 13,240 lbs for the rig and another 14,000 lbs for the trailer

Some very cool and very expensive (they cost more than our homes) European "earth roamer" type trucks can be seen at http://www.unicat.net/.
