Anyone do anything like remodel the sleeper? I'm thinking of ideas like put maybe carpet in, like shag carpet, add some cushion to the walls, maybe paint the cabnets. Add a micorwave and fridge. I'm in a cascadia btw. I heard of some people putting plywood down for the floor and then making it nice finished wood floor. I was thinking maybe cutting some wood and mounting a tv up for maybe a ps4 or a printer mount etc. Anyone did anything cool or neat?
I added a sink to mine. It's in a drawer just like the factory setup you can get in a Volvo. 5 gallon tank and an RV water pump, sink drains to ground under truck. I got some carpet squares from a wholesale place and trimmed to fit. I can take them out one at a time to clean if I need to but I keep a battery powered little shop vac in the truck and clean as I go. Microwave, fridge, toaster oven, Keurig, regular coffee pot, laser printer, sink, laptop, butane stove. No TV or PS4 for me. No time for games. I'm too busy beating lot lizards off my steps who want to move in and raise my children while I roll down the road for 1.40/mile getting rich.
Apartment size refrigerator, laminate flooring and both sets of drawers now have wooden fronts. All done while on the road making money. This is in a T660.
Best thing I did to my company Western Star to make it more livable. 150 swivel reclining gaming chair with foot rest and foldable table. I am not a gamer by the way. Just needed comfort for cooking and watching tv.
I put a swivel base on my passenger seat. It was like $50 from Tractor Supply. Nice to swing around and put your feet up, isn't it @tommymonza?
My first truck I had was a 680 Kenworth with a 36 inch sleeper. Only thing that made it barely livablewss the factory swivel passenger seat that know seems to know about. I drove with mine turned around backwards , made a nice place to lay reachable items without falling to the floor every time you braked. Does it lock..? I am looking for a swivel for my Chevy conversion vans passenger seat. They want 180 for one from RV supplier.
It locks forward, is that what you mean? I don't think it locks in any position except forward. I'll see if I can find a link. It took about 2 hours to install in my truck but I've done a few on vans and RVs.
