I doubt Airstream allows the deck to be open while driving. There is probably an ignition cut off similar to that found for deployed slide-outs that prevents moving while the clam shell deck is open.

As any episode of COPS has shown, mix a little alcohol (or other substance of choice) with some members of the gene-pool and you've got instant entertainment and impossible injuries. Your vision of a mobile party bus and inevitable enforcement of the laws of gravity from this unbridled revelry brings to mind a (urban) legendary lawsuit against Winnebago Industries:

Quote:
This year's favorite could easily be Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having driven onto the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the R.V. left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the owner's manual that he couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded him $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons buying their recreation vehicles.
