    I think these trucks have a lot of wasted space
    Especially the tall Ultraloft types
    That bed could easily hoist up to the ceiling while utilizing the lower area with a collapsible shower bath area and cooking area

    You have pushed me to my limit, and so now you will be (pun)ished.

    How do you make a water bed more bouncy?

    Fill it with spring water.

    Why do cows wear bells?

    Their horns don't work.

    I would like to see someone invent a small cooling device that is built in to the dash cup holder and keeps beverages chilled.

    All facts must be submitted in picture form.

    I too don’t understand why an O/O packaged interior is not offered by manufacturers yet. I know I’m never gonna team my truck and I would pay a premium for an interior that made better use of all the unused space in a sleeper. I almost tackled a major rebuild of my sleeper compartment myself, but got distracted chasing butterflies. Even went and talked to a local RV place about building a custom interior. Price got to the point where I may as well called ARI…

    Maybe you guys do know.. JMO
    but having a shower and toilet in your truck for convenience can be costly and time consuming
    You have clean water gray water so you gota have 2 tanks and heaters and a pump... now you gota have a dump station to dispose of your gray water.. you will have all these cheap plastic valves that seem to break crack or leak every whipstich or the pump fails or has no power when you need it.. let alone the extra weight your now gonna carry
    We complain about the smell of piss in a truck stop parking lot now can you imagine would it would be like if re-tards either dumped the gray water or didn't maintain their systems ?
    It's bad enough now because drivers can't sem to be capable of disposing 12 Oz of piss can you imagine what it will be like if they had 30 gals of it ?

    They already have that
    I have had two cars that the cup holders both cooled and heated
    Mine were built in and worked pretty good Google it and you will find other aftermarket ones
    Not sure how well they work
