For many, the annual RV vacation includes flat campgrounds with blue, buzzing mosquito zappers and long days driving from national park to national park. But Excel Distributors, a leading purveyor in aftermarket RV mattresses, knows that sometimes just finding a place to sleep is where the adventure lies. In 31 Strangest Places to Sleep, Excel highlights the most creative rest stops, sleep spots, and out-there hotels the world has to offer. It's the one-stop guide for anyone who wants to embark on a different kind of adventure—extreme sleeping.

"For some RVers, the goal is the destination: getting to that monument, seeing that landmark. For others, RVing is all about the adventure along the way. 31 Strangest Places to Sleep is our tribute to them," says Scott Oster, general manager of Excel Distributors.
The unique RV campgrounds featured in 31 Places include the Flintstone Campground in Williams, Arizona, Antelope Island in Great Salt Lake, Utah, Slab City, On Top of Salvation Mountain, near Niland, California, and even a Wal-Mart parking lot.
You've been asking for years: "When are they going to make an RV that floats?" For 1.2 million dollars, you can take to the high seas in your Amphibious RV, where you can fish all day from your couch.
"RV travel may not be as popular in other parts of the world as it is here, but when it is possible, it can be one of the best ways to explore a new place," says Oster.
RV enthusiasts down under will recognize Franz Josef Holiday Park in the shadow of New Zealand's tallest peak, and 31 Places also gives a shout out to roadside camping in Siberia.
In regions of the world where RV camping is less common, Excel showcases one-of-a-kind sleep situations like the oil rig survival pod hotel in The Hague. And, there are those who don't need an RV or a hotel to hunker down for a quick nap.
"We created 31 Places as something fun to encourage RVers to share their own strange sleep stories. But we hope it also inspires some of those same RVers to slow down, stop rushing from destination to destination, and see what sites pop up along the way," says Oster.
