A lot of you are living out of your pickups. I'm about to downgrade from the sleeper comfort of a 2014 KW T680 to a 4 door pickup. Please post some pics of your setups. Any tips on how to make life a little more comfortable in your trucks while on the road is appreciated.
Sleeping setup in your pickup.

Woodhouse sleepers there about $2500 shipped, they replace your back seat
JChors Thanks this. -
So I have the Dodge and I without buying a sleeper conversion I can not see how it will be comfortable to "live" in while on the road. I rely on hotels. My truck does not hold 50 gals of fuel so I do not get a free shower when I fuel. I can get a $50-$60 hotel and have a shower when I get there ($10) and one in the morning when I leave (Another $10). When you add that to a real bed and private toilet it really only cost me about $30 a night. These sleepers are a couple grand and then you are crammed into the cab of your truck 24 hours a day.
This is MY opinion and I am sure that many feel otherwise. I am fortunate that I am home 3-4 nights a week. If I was on the road for Weeks at a time I am sure I would invest in a conversion.
Hope that helps.NavigatorWife Thanks this. -
I agree. I don't see how you can drive all day and then jump in the backseat to go to bed. In my opinion if your sleeping in your truck because you don't have enough money for a motel than your not charging enough. Just my two cents. -
To each his own. My $2500 conversion sleeper will pay for its self in three months time. I think it's plenty comfortable for me. But that's just me.

I have the Woodhouse sleeper At 6'2'' I sleep very well and don't have to lay at a angle. I have the Webasto TSL17 17,000 Btu Hydronic Marine Heater with Surewire in my truck. http://www.suremarineservice.com/TSL17SW-12.aspx?gclid=CJDjvK6p7MACFcZQ7AodLz4AAQ
