It's a big bus or truck fitted with fold-out platforms and awnings on the sides, roof, etc. Inside are more accommodations, a wood-fired or multifuel capable boiler, and kitchen set up for mass production of basic grub e.g. coffee and pancakes, rice, BBQ.
It is mobile as mentioned, so that it can
be relocated to where there is demand e.g. music fests, disaster-stricken areas, work sites, expensive housing markets.
Lots of potential side gigs like bike rentals, speakeasy, travel tours, food truck, laundromat. Endless possibilities, but for the Laws of Nature and Man.

Like a collective camper-van? |

Many years ago I took The Greyrabbit Bus from San Francisco to New York. There were no seats on the bus, only mattresses from one end to the other. It was filled with long haired hippies, and I was one of them. It was the best bus trip I ever made. |

Similar idea: mobile cat hostel. To deploy a population of hundreds of cats to an area. Perhaps RFID technology could help assure all cats are provisioned and accounted for as they wander out and then return, drawn by cat treats. What's not to love about a large group of cats showing up unexpectedly? |

A petting zoo would add to the clown-car appeal of the moho, although I was thinking more chickens and goats than cats |

Bones should be reserved for bad ideas or wkte ideas. |

Just because you found a truck like this doesn't make it wk and definitely not a bad idea. MFD it, and we can discuss. But if you bone it, your just discouraging the inventor. |
|
| |
Sorry for the off topic talk. (Where should that discussion be) |
|
| |
Anyway, I gave it pastry, because I liked the idea, and never saw anything like it, not in real life and not advertised. |

Those existing mobile hotels seem to based around the business model of booking rich people ahead of time for a tour or whatever. This idea is more about a minimal crew taking the pop-up tent city to someplace where there are already people in need of accommodations. It was inspired by stories of people with houses wrecked by a recent hurricane. It's a terrible business idea, that's why it's here. |
