Dont have pics of any cute trucks. Ive seen some cute trucks on the flatbed side, I wont be taking one. My FM said theyre only using those when no fullsize are available. They dont make sense on this side.

i have no plans on getting one in december either

**OpenRoadDreamer** · 07.28.2012

Theyre just not big enough for storing all the equipment we got.

**da1** · 07.28.2012

agreed ill see what happens at the end of the yr

**OpenRoadDreamer** · 07.28.2012

Hopefully theyll take care of us when we go back. Dont want to go nowhere else.

The newer Cascadias don't have room for sideboxes either only a step-box. It's going to be fun.

But least they got the room for that. Im try to hang onto this truck as long as I can. lol My 60" sidebox is completely full of stuff... lol Least the 2 door headache racks have room for the coil racks n dunnage on the side. I dont have room for all the stuff I got in this truck in a cute truck lol Those shelves are full of stuff, cute truck doesnt have those. I want to know how well a dd13 is going to pull a 49,000 pound load. If they think I get crappy mileage now...

Under the bunk I have tools, spare sleeping bag etc. Chains are there also even though I have a chain rack. Bunk is plenty wide enough for me. At the end of the bunk I have a small hanging bag for meds, odss and ends etc. Coffee Maker is velcro'ed to the top of the storage cabinet.
I also have curtains that go around the front of the drivers compartment, vs just bunk curtains.
Keep in mind I purposely picked a 2010 truck, which is different from the newer trucks, I think I have a little more room.

Hey can you post pictures of your set-up. I'm trying to figure out just how much space I will have. Thanks in advance.
