Here is the a video of the 16x20 Chamonix camera I am thinking of buying, starring Hugo. This fun little film was put together by Eddie Gunks. I guess Hugo also owns the 11x14 and 14x17 reducing backs, which is my plan as well (maybe 11x14 and 12 x 20).

Note* The camera weighs 33.95 pounds, plus holders, tripod, lens. I will need to be able to build some kind of cart system to carry the potential 50 pound weight. Either that or hire Sherpa like people in Asia to carry my gear around.
Note** The 16x20 Chamonix with shipping will cost $8975 CAD. With a lens, and holders, maybe a tripod, that number will go up to around $12000-$15000 CAD.
Note*** 16x20 film holders run at $430 USD each plus shipping.
ULF Format Film Holders
Update* The Richard Ritter 16x20 only weighs 17lbs, something to consider! That is like half the weight of any other 16x20 camera I can find.
