Hotel Truck – The One and ONLY
Description
Mechanical The hotel is a self-contained module on the back of the truck, with a 100mm steel box-tube frame and 12mm rigid insulated fiberglass panel walls. When fully contracted for travel, the truck measures 11.2 metres (37 ft) in length, 2.55 metres (8.4 ft) in width, and 4 metres (13 ft) in height. There are four leveling jacks, and the second floor expands upwards, both via a hydraulic mechanisms, bringing the expanded height to 6.5 metres (21 ft). A deck expands 85 centimetres (33 in) outward from the “front” (the right side of the truck) of the lower level of the hotel, while the four smaller rooms expand outward from the front of the upper level, and the kitchen and lounge expand 102 centimetres (40 in) outward from the back of the lower level, bringing the overall expanded width to 4.42 metres (14.5 ft). The crew quarters expand 1.3 metres (4.3 ft) to the rear over the motorcycle rack, bringing the overall expanded length to 12.5 metres (41 ft). When expanded, interior ceiling heights are 2.3 metres (7.5 ft). Electrical The horizontal expansion modules, or “pop-outs,” are electrically actuated from the hotel’s 12V battery pack, which is independent of the underlying truck’s 12V system. The deep-cycle marine battery pack is charged by the solar panels which cover the hotel’s roof, with an auxiliary gasoline generator. An inverter supplies 230V, 50Hz AC electricity within the truck, though the lighting is 12V DC LED and USB charging outlets are colocated with European-standard Schuko AC power points. Plumbing The downstairs is plumbed for gas-heated and cold water, including a restroom, shower, and kitchen, and sewage. There are two 500 litres (130 US gal) fresh and wastewater storage tanks in the bottom of the truck.[4] Air Conditioning There is ducted air conditioning located in the ceiling space between the lower and upper floors, with registers throughout the truck. Internet A 5G cellular modem and WiFi access point in the lounge provide wireless Internet access in all rooms.
