Thanks again Liz. I think someone had posted some info regarding the bus/rv tour before but it is neat that you saw it up close and personal. For Europeans used to hostels, etc I can see that this sort of tour in the US would suit them fine. I could see traveling across Europe, too!

Very clever. I have seen these in the UK, but never in the US. They seem to always be full of german tourists. I could not find any interior photos other than one bed, but it certainly seems like an interesting way to travel with 20 of your best friends!
They do seem to go off-road as well, but the lack of showers would do me in.
