I’m thinking of getting a legacy sleeper semi. I was wondering about the turn radius.. in other words how difficult is it to maneuver compared to a normal bob tail.. I keep picturing getting stuck in situations especially tight docks.
I’m very fascinated with the legacy sleeper
What are your thoughts about legacy sleeper trucks??

longer wheel base = more room needed to turn

I think there are some very good reasons why they are usually only used by bedbuggers

Having never run a big house truck I do have one observation.
Folks that don't have them make excuses on why they are bad (to big, to heavy, etc.)
Folks that do have them wouldn't go back to a smaller truck even with the disadvantages.Roger McG, LoSt_AgAiN and Old Man Thank this. -
No problem, but if you’re doing lots of stops in big east coast cities it could be a problem.
You just learn to make turns different. -
That said if i had a nice dedicated route i would love one, but i prefer my smaller sleeper as a money maker because it has a ton of advantages over those commercial RVs that are hard to offset. -
I would love a shower, toilet, and kitchen behind me.
LoSt_AgAiN Thanks this. -
I'd be happy with just a cartridge type potty for us to pee in. A sink to wash up in might be nice, too, but a full shower would be a lot of space.TheLoadOut Thanks this.
