We saw one of those by a lake in Montana years ago.  It must surely feel like sleeping in a coffin. ::)

Margi,

I talked with a couple of ladies traveling in the "small" bus while we were at Torrey. They were German tourists and said that this was an enomical way for them to see the US. IIRC they said there were coffins bunks for 32 people.
 
Sam & I saw one of these while in Washington.  Was interesting to see them set up the kitchen and feed everybody.  Couldn't help but wonder what they would do if it rained.  The sleeping arrangements reminded me of the cocoon sleeping hotels I seen while in Japan in the early 60/s.
 
We see those all the time in the Four Corners. Usually full of Europeans or Japanese. They usually stop just before dinner, everyone jumps out and helps fix dinner then off to bed. The bus is usually gone around dawn.

Interesting Wendy. I wonder if they get a discount for helping  ???  The German ladies I talked with told me that, on their trip, "the driver does everything".

I watched them set up at Bryce Canyon campground when they were camped next to us.  It looked very organized with many helping hands.

We have run into the German tour comapny in Mexico, Alaska, Canada, US, and on Prince Edward Island this summer. They either have a large number of them operating in the US or that bus really gets around. ;D
 
I guess if you are used to working in a 2' x 2' cubicle, this would be ok...
 
Ron, we saw them set up in Wisconsin in '06 in the rain.  They have a tent they put up over the tables and benches on the right side but the driver/cook had to do his thing in the rain.  I don't think there is access from seats to honeycomb sleeping quarters during the day.  As far as I know there is one bathroom available for day use and everyone uses the campground facilities at knight.  The operators are very efficient from what I've seen. 
 
I actually slept in a Cocoon hotel a couple times when I was in Japan in the service and there was hardly any room to even turn over.  I sure wouldn't want to pay to do it now.  Think we will continue to enjoy the MH.
 
They are Rotel Tours and are quite an operation with tours all around the world.  Their website is in German but almost readable:

I have never seen anything like before. But my question would be where is the soap and who forgot to shower ???
