I have to agree, that is uber-cool! I watched the video quite a few times. Thanks for sharing. Are you going to build one?

Jess did some drawings of this design, although he used an interesting track design to lift the center section rather than the hinged bar shown in the video: http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=29786. I thought it was cool, but having seen the video, I'm salivating a little.

Perfect for one. I like that the bed and dinette are separate.

I just watched again and noticed that the dinette seating is really sideways. That may be somewhat uncomfortable, but it saves alot of space. And, I would guess, the dining would be mostly outside.

Maybe the dinette bench could slide out from the wall, and diners could straddle either end.

I think you have to consider the amount of time you spend doing each thing. I usually cook outside, so being a bit uncomfortable when it rains would not bother me (eating inside)... sleeping situation is important, as I do that for hours per day.
