Very cool idea.  Looks like it's even towable by a bicycle.

I used to live in the sleeper of a semi truck and it's not so bad. The worst thing is having to exit to perform some bodily functions and to wash ur a$$. The have motel rooms in Japan which are similar to a truck sleeper.
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

That reminds me of a show on the Travel Channel recently about contemporary sleeper cab options.  Absolutely amazing with cabs including showers, full-size bed, dinette table, microwave, fridge, toilet and flat-screen TV.

I read about that last week or so on China Hush dot com, looks like an interesting design, not sure if it had a kitchen/bathroom or was waterproof. I did notice it had a solar panel.
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Sleepers with "facilities" are too long for standard OTR truckers...but specialized truckers like furniture movers often have them because they won't have a problem with the longer wheelbase.

I had thought it might be a good way to quasi-retire, and "see america" and turn RV'ing into a paying, or at least semi-break even proposition. However the fact that trucks may well be driving themselves by the time I and Mrs. Dual retire, and that the extended sleeper cabs weren't compatible with the most common OTR trucking work independents can get, I figured it wasn't worth researching further.
I promise not to duck.
