So I forgot about this until just now, but on my recent trip I saw a legit Rotel Bus on its way to Lake Powell; I had never seen one before and I didn’t think I ever would. It was on the road so I didn’t have time to take a picture but here is what they look like.
Rotel = Rolling Hotel, and that’s exactly what it is. Each of those little windows is a tiny little “suite”
They’ve been in business since 1959 basically serving the function of a cruise ship for the land, only serving more adventurous locales.
They were doing Indian Tours as early as 1962
They can either be standard pusher buses, trailers, or more capable vehicles like so.
I didn’t even know they were operating in the US, but there you go! A little pricey but a unique way to travel...could be fun!
