[1][2][3] They purchased the underlying truck in the Netherlands in September 2016, shipped it to Portugal, and began construction of the hotel in December 2016.

The hotel was completed in July, 2017, and first saw service at the Motor Beach Festival in Playa de La Espasa, Spain in the same month.

The hotel is a self-contained module on the back of the truck, with a 100mm steel box-tube frame and 12mm rigid insulated fiberglass panel walls.

[4][5] The horizontal expansion modules, or "pop-outs," are electrically actuated from the hotel's 12V battery pack, which is independent of the underlying truck's 12V system.

The deep-cycle marine battery pack is charged by the solar panels which cover the hotel's roof, with an auxiliary gasoline generator.
