If this is a recipe for white trash disaster, I say preheat the oven because the BaseCamp Bonn looks like a pretty killer place to crash while backpacking through Deutschland.

It’s a concept dreamed up by hotelier Michael Schlosser, with caravans put together by television and film set designer Marion Seul. “Instead of regular rooms,” a representative there wrote to Complex, “the location offers 15 different vintage camping caravans, two railway sleeping coaches and four US Airstream trailers next to a few other oddities (like VW buses or a former GDR Trabant), providing a total of 120 beds.” Get more information at the hostel’s website (if you can read German).
