    Oh yes they can. A guy that just doesn't 't care will tear that one up as easily as any other.

    Home improvement. The complaint I have about my truck is that it is small. But it's my first truck. So I made a shelf. We will see how it lasts. :)

    Trying to clear things up.
    BTW, the 4 on the train car are joined with couplers to create a single 20' unit.I've only had this happen once. Generally, they're loaded individually but a decent operator will get them tight and straight.
    Disclaimer : there may some variations of dimensions of the connex.
    In my meager experience the military refers to a 20' container as a "milvan".

    Put a 1 inch lip on it or everything will vibrate off going down the road.

    The thing about the clips are, wen you get crap in the winch track they get jammed up like the winches. Now you have to fool around with two things. Oh almost forgot, with the winches the dogs sometimes will point up and get caught in those slots. JMO

    You should hire @Razorwyr i watched him build a heck of a shelf at a truckstop.

    Yes I learned quick that dirt gets in those rails fast and can jam things up. I just make the guys spray it out at each truck wash or after playing in the snow. I haven't had a dog get caught yet. That would be a pain. And the areas around the rear axels that are unusable is a downfall too. But it is what it is and I have learned to adapt and overcome. Not like I have much of a choice now. LOL

    Oh he can tear the deck up, don't get me wrong. But he would have to hit this rub rail at full speed to even leave a mark on it. You should check out the demo vid. I would link to it but I'm not sure how.

    Its ok, I do like the idea of putting a lip on it though. The only thing that bounces around is the toaster over. The coffee maker and crock-pot rarely budge.
    *Disclaimer* I hate making my bed as much as I hate doing laundry, so ignore the wadded up comforter.

    How tall is your sleeper? Deep? I feel like I live in one of those japonese hotel rooms, at times.

    I thought about caulking or screwing the coffee pot down.
