Off the beaten path of normal truck talk, some may know my background on here of driving busses and dabbling in the entertainment business (side note, please don't message me asking how to get into the biz - sorry, just tired of the question). Ok, Sprinters are making their way rather aggressively into the bus business and they're squeezing 9 bunks into them - and I've heard of 12 as crazy as that may sound. The other thing that is raising it's ugly head into the bus business is something they're coining as a "Band Wagon". Basically, it's a Freightliner M2 cab with a small integral sleeper... then there's a cargo box - that has a bunk (6+) and galley area and sometimes even a toilet/restroom.
Curious on the thoughts of these layouts?
I should add that Sprinter has also made a very impressive entrance into the limo/executive shuttle scene. Personally, I like the idea that Sprinters are being utilized in the limo scene, however not too keen on them meddling in the crew/band transport scene- and it's not because of a money issue... the Sprinter is tall and narrow and I'm not so sure it's a good idea to be squeezing bunks into them. The M2 is not a bad truck, however the notion of having a glorified cargo box with a bunch of people riding in it - Completely separate from the cab.
Sprinters are actually replacing stretch limo's and are essentially filling the void between the private town car and the limo. It's working out very well and the variety of interior appointments is actually near endless.
Curious what the take is on this from the expediters - thought about putting this post in the general forum, however I figured since it was trucks I'd try here 1st.
Hope all is well with everybody, BBB
