Yeah, being able to reach my cookies will make the decision for me to invest 100k+ in a truck. As far as the old dash:



Hideous.



Don't know how I stare at this ugly thing all day.

Enjoy your homemade cookies on the passenger seat. I'll lay back in my condo and watch my Big T.V. that sits on my BIG closet, across from my fridge which is just under my desk. Two people and a 90 lb Pit Bull in my truck and still plenty of room. But hey, you can reach your cookies and roll down the cranker passenger side window from your seat. LOFL

Because of the way KW measures their sleepers your 70" condo is just a bit smaller than the 86" KW sleeper.

Keep laughing.


And for the record you can buy plenty of perfectly good KWs for well under $100K.

Actually the condo is only 60" inside, the studio is 74". That is a ugly ### dash no matter how much crap you put on it....

Thats right i will walk ACROSS my 86" studio and go sit down on my couch, fold down my table, open the fridge and make me a sandwich, after im done i will lay my lap top on it and surf the internet. Then once im done i think i will watch Superbad on my 27" LCD

Sorry freightshaker man, but dont compare a yugo to a caddilac

OH and BTW those gauges are about as accurate as my ### with diharreha.
