saw an unusual cube van today

Jack_Berry · Mar 25, 2007

chevy cut away with about a 12' box but behind the cab was a 3-4' long sleeper that was as tall as the cab. does anyone who makes that?

a few miles up the road was a red d unit with a dark windo in the side of the box. yes the box not the sleeper. cab and sleeper was red and the box was white.

no name on it or the cube van. both were on 204 between deerfield road and the wisc state line goin' south as i went north.

Jack,

Yes you can get the Cube van as you described from most Ford or Chevy or Sprinter dealers. You can order a very specific layout as far as sleeper size, insulation, lights, roof A/C, single or duel rear axel Sleeper side door(emergency door).
I have a BayBridge box and am VERY Pleased with it. Check out their website. WWW.Baybridge.com

Danny,

I think the link you provided is for the Chesapeak Bay Bridge .... you may want to recheck it.

Hey Pack,

Is your sleeper built inside the box, or is it a coffin sleeper between the cab and box?

Jeff,
My sleeper is built in the box itself. The bed which is 44" wide is behind the drivers seats and is seperated from the cargo area by a solid bulkhead with a sealed sliding, lockable, door. I have a full emergency door on the passenger side of the bed area. We open the door and use the entire area as sleeper when on layover. We have a built in cabinet containing a mircrowave, and sink, and storage in one corner. When loaded we only use the bed for one of us to sleep while the other is driving.
Coming from a stright truck with a 84" sleeper, we had to get very creative to allow us the same comforts, or at least close to it in a much smaller area.
So far we have been very pleased and comfortable.

Hey Packmule, anyway you could post pictures of your cube? I would love to see it.

Packmule · Apr 12, 2007

I will try to post some when I get back home. I don't have any on my laptop but I do have some on my home PC.

Danny

I did send some to Moot, if he still has them I don't mind if he post them.

Packmule:
Would you send me a pic of your cube also? Please.

What are the dim. on the back door?

Do you have a door into the cab also?

Also do you have pic's of the way you have the cabnets set up in the back of your cube? Does that cut down on your carrying capibilites?

Thanks for the help.

Pack Van interior pictures. Note the cabinet with stainless steel sink. Danny did a fantastic job putting this truck together. I don't think he will miss his big truck.

What's with the close up of the porti potty?

What is the size of the TV?

That is a great looking setup.

Moot · Apr 16, 2007

>What's with the close up of the porti potty?

I just posted the pictures for Danny. At least nobody was sitting on it.

Thornapple · Apr 16, 2007

Thanks for the post of the pic's.

That's a sweet setup.

The only thiing I would recommend adding is an E-Track holder for the TP.

davekc · Apr 16, 2007

I like your set up. I have always considered doing something simular with a areocell, but never did. Great setup.

Moot,

Thanks for posting those pics for me as I don't know when we will be getting back to the house. Spent so much time sitting in Laredo last week I started to put up a mail box at the J and have my mail sent there. But then we had a problem with Citizenship, seems American Citizens are not welcome there, so we deadheaded out.

Rlent, GREAT Idea on the TP Holder!!!

Greg,I really didn't pay attention to the fact that I had taken a closeup of the portable think tank when I sent the Pics to Moot. Ha! I got a real kick outta that one myself, seeing it posted on EO is quite an Honor!! At least it cleaner than the ones at the Truck stops!?!

Thanks for the compliments also.

Danny
