    Ya, we took a peek. Surprised they left the doors wide open. :biggrin_2559:

    Pretty nice looking; although I'd miss some of the storage space I have in this volvo.. I could make do.

    I like the color.. though its not really a WS red.

    there were at least 6 kenworths so far by my count. i saw another coming in when i was going over to billings las weekend. and some of them do have 13s according to mike. i still kind of want one...the bunk is wider. i forgot quick how squished i am in the volvo. i could fully stretch in that thing without being wedged in haha. i still dont see them fairing well on some of the tight furniture drops though.

    haha they arent 8. they just dont label the crawler gear as 1st like they do in our 10s. its like since you barely use first if they labeled the 10s 1 through 9 and 1st as low.

    a lot of people commented about fridge space, but if you think about it the volvos arent any better. i have a small one bungeed up on the top bunk. so mine is small enough to go on the floor in one of those.

    some people have all the luck, having a truck they only need to bungy down a fridge to secure.....if i bungy'd my fridge to the floor of the sleeper it will STILL hit me on the head!! LOL:biggrin_2559:

    Right now mines wedged between the bunk and passenger site. Use a bungy just to keep the door closed while moving. The KW here doesn't have the upper bunk.

    ill take a KW if it has a 13spd, but i have no use for a 8 or 9 spd.


    And BNR you are wrong, Eaton Fuller 9 spds have 1-9 all labeled. If the truck dosent have "1st" labeled its a 8LL and that unlabed gear is LowLow
