Sleeper option

[Tennesseahawk]

Bob, other than bugs between the cab and bunk, was there serious drag in that area according to your fuel mileage?

If I'm stuck in a truck 3 weeks at a time with someone else, you're darned right I want a BIG bunk

"Stuck in a truck"???? There are other career options.

There you go fleet owners. Give these folks a Tajh to camp in while on the road, and look what happens. "The roof is too low, the sleeping area is too small, yada,yada,yada". And they go away, anyway. I still maintain, if you wanna go camping, buy a Winnebago, and leave the trucking to us truckers.

You can't please everybody.
So you win some and lose some.

As opposed to STUCK in an office, or STUCK at home? I enjoy my job driving, I was saying I would make it as comfortable as possible. Don't read too much into a simple statement. When I'm away from my wife and baby for weeks at a time, sitting at a truckstop, yes... I'm STUCK in a truck!

yes, there was drag on that particular truck.

In response to the remark about giving drivers a huge sleeper and they still complain,

response: Some people are just not content with sleeping in a cigerrete box. I happen to be one of them.
Some things look better from the outside.

and the "leave the trucking to us truckers" remark...

Response: I'm not gonna comment too much.
I don't think I have to say much with 700,000 miles under my belt at 28 years of age thru 45 states and 2 Canadian provinces.
Most of which has been extensively covered, not just "driven thru".

Working in Nascar, I have seen configurations like the picture shown. His comments in regards to heat & cooling right on. Its different can't say its ugly but its not pretty either.

As for my personal opinion, I have an 84 Bentz some of you have the 96. I really think they have a very nice set up and well thought out design for a nice package. Have a friend who has the Alumbunk and he turned his bed lengthwise behind the drivers seat moved the closet up (shorty). Gave a very nice look to the sleeper and more room than mine.

I just like the duck and walk thru since I am only 5-9 170lbs it suites me fine. Can't have everything so make do and thats whats so fun out here is making do with what ya got.
