Tips for making the truck more livable?

Blond with blue eyes !!!!!!!!

 

I added a few prints to my sleeper. Also, a TV/DVD can be nice for those long stretches with nothing to do. I also carried a PS2 for entertainment, satellite radio to keep up with the news during downtime. You could look into comfortable bedding, pillows, and whatnot. If you're gonna live in your sleeper (and alot of do, or in my case did), make it comfortable. I found a comfortable sleeper added to my rest, and made me a better driver in the long run.

 

An assemble-it-yourself telephone table may fit between the seats of a walk-in sleeper.

 

For us, we added a temperpedic (sp?) mattress topper to the mattress.


We also have lots of "extras", that run on a 2500 watt inverter. (A lot of companies won't allow these inverters)

**extras are**

19 inch flat screen TV

PS2 game station

VCR/DVD player

microwave

crockpot

and, of course, my laptop w/air card for internet


We also have XM/Sirius radio.

And a fridge that was built into the truck.


For the money, my laptop is a LIFE-SAVING time-consumer for me....but I'm just a rider, not a driver, so I NEED something to keep me occupied!!

Yep, had carpet in the sleeper area, my ps3, about 400 dvds, 19 inch lcd flatscreen, nice comforter, and sirius radio, and the most important of all my laptop with aircard.

 

Man I thought I was in high cotton..when I had my 5 inch BW tv in the sleeper..lol.. but unless your old.. most ppl have never even seen a BW tv..lmao..
But carpet in the floor of sleeper.. is nice.. some pictures on the walls.. But Im old school.. I had a big ole confederate flag on the back wall.. purple lights in the sleeper.. do they even sell those lights anymore? .. big ole teddy bear riding shotgun..

 

I hear you, after a few weeks I can't stand being in the cab anymore! A night's hotel away from the truck has done me good.

 

As I've gotten older, I've found that less is better, at least for me.

Small DVD player, laptop, and my ipod. I do have a cooler (non-electric). I'm rediscovering the joy of reading, too.

Now if my eyes will cooperate!
