Here's a fun fact. A current Winnebago[1] of similar design to the one in the movie weighs 18,000 lbs, and 31' x 12' x 9' which is within the capability for Falcon 9 to both carry it in its Fairing (43' and 17' diameter) and to put it into low earth orbit. Falcon Heavy could put it into GEO Synchronous Orbit :-)
