WHEN you're working across both sides of the Atlantic, it makes sense to have a place to call home when you touch down state side.

But, when you're Simon Cowell (and worth around £400million), only the best is good enough - and that's definitely the case when you take a look at his luxury US-based motorhome.

Bigger is definitely better in the USA, and Simon's motorhome is no different - weighing in at 40 tonnes and costing £1.6million.

And, of course, it has a suitably showbiz name, with the huge trailer named The Hollywood.

As business savvy as ever, Simon actually rents the motorhome rather than buying it outright - which he could quite easily manage.

The Hollywood is loaned to him from an American firm called Anderson Mobile Estates while he's working across the pond, with a tour of it shown on HGTV.

Other big-name users include Will Smith, Mariah Carey, Vin Diesel, Jamie Foxx, and Sylvester Stallone.

The Hollywood has 22 wheels and has to be towed behind a huge truck, while slide-out sections mean it offers 1,200 square feet of accommodation.

Inside everything is draped in the finest Italian marble and leather and there's one huge bedroom, two bathrooms, two lounges, an office and a makeup station that converts to a medical centre.

The medical centre has more than £100,000 of equipment and an on-call doctor to ensure Simon never misses a shoot.

He can chat with his doctor remotely via video link and be assessed from anywhere in the world.

According to Anderson Mobile Estates founder RJ Anderson, only one other special motorhome has this capability on board and it has wings; Air Force One.

Talking of tech, the bedroom doesn't have a normal key - it can only be accessed with fingerprint technology.

The larger of Simon's two lounges has to be big enough to seat his entire entourage, so it has seats for 30 people and features one of three 60-inch 3D TVs onboard.

In fact, all the technology crammed into this motorhome requires 10 miles of cabling that had to be intricately woven around its interior.

Anderson Mobile Estates doesn't sell motorhomes, but it will create them bespoke for clients for a cost before renting them.

RJ Anderson reckons the estimated cost of Simon's is $2million or around £1.6million.
