You may have seen them on TV, on the big screen, or their albums in stores, but many celebrities love the freedom of a home-on-wheels just like the rest of us. Some own classic RVs and trailers, but other big-name stars shelled out millions of dollars customizing their own luxury motorhomes. Here’s a look at eight well-known actors and musicians who you may have never guessed would have their own rig.
1. Matthew McConaughey
McConaughey owns a customized 2004 Airstream International CCD 28, parked only a stone’s throw away from the water in Malibu. The Oscar-winning actor’s silver bullet is decked out with a chill surfers vibe and mainly used for relaxing, making music, and working on his clothing line “Just Keep Living“.
2. John Mayer
When he’s not on tour, singer-songwriter John Mayer loves heading off-road in his beastly EarthRoamer XV-LTS. The truck camper’s equipped with a Power Stroke V8 engine that puts out 300 HP and 600 lb ft of torque, making it capable of handling just about any type of terrain.
3. Simon Cowell
Famous TV personality Simon Cowell has a mobile estate valued at $2 million. The 2-story RV doubles in size at the push of a button and has its own 24/7 doctor’s office. At 1200 square feet, this top-of-the-line trailer has a contemporary style with wide-open space and large comfy couches. It’s equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system and 65-inch 3D theater.

Here’s the full tour from HGTV:
