Looks like very nice body styling but it sure has some serious storage problems!

It looks like that may be Vesta.

Vesta was the virgin goddess of the hearth, home, and family in Roman religion. Vesta's presence was symbolized by the sacred fire that burned at her hearth and temples.
I posted it as Vista, because with Monaco's track record I thought it might have been a mistake in judgment again.

In May, we saw this unit being built before that had put any of the body on the chassis. They pointed out some serious storage in the rear end of the coach but in these pictures I can't see the access to it. The rear of the unit was a big storage bay that appeared to be about 3' high, 4' deep and across the entire width of the unit.
It's also supposed to have some serious MPG, if I remember correctly, it was up to about 20mpg and was to cost under $200
I'd love to see inside a complete one.

Looks like a HUGE bay at the rear. You can see the bay door in the left side shot, just can't seen the handle. You can see the handle in the rear shot.

(Google found the pictures on Flickr. [I posted a link elsewhere.] Sometimes car OEMs post "spy photos" to drum up and gauge interest. I have no idea who the Flickr poster is. If they didn't want it shown, they'd have shipped it in a covered trailer.)

Looks like it spent some time in the wind tunnel. That should help the mileage. I was driving by the factory in Coburg yesterday, and they had about 20 brand new Neptunes lined up, ready to ship.

There's not alot of space in the wheel wells, doe's this have air suspension or is it for aerodynamics. Also is that the exhast pipe in front of the rear wheels?

Here is a link from RV Business that shows a picture of the front, it's got the same styling as the rear to me.

I received a survey from Monaco gauging opinion of front and rear styling for a new product. From what I remember, this style is middle of the road. A couple were very "road warriorish". Made $10. Made March a very good month.
