Western Star is/was the premier truck. I've never driven one. When I started it was like the Cadillac or Lexus of trucks.
Last night in our truck

Congrats! Beautiful truck.
Your both going to love the additional space, kitchen & bathroom/shower. You'll likely find you will never want to go back to a conventional sleeper again, though.
Big tip I wish I would have known right from the start when I bought mine.
Get over to ARI & Mr. Wrench, the generator shop down the street from them. Best & most honest generator shop anywhere. Get the oil fill conversion done on the Onan. It's cheap & will make life so much easier for oil changes in that tight side box.
ARI parking has shore/water, laundry & courtesy run around vehicle if needed to use.
You'll like the much better ride with larger wheel base. Turning radius is bit bigger, but probably not as much as your expecting with the setback steer axle. Will get used to in short time.
Welcome to large car life. Think you're both going to love it.
Best of luck out to you both!Albertaflatbed, The_vett, OldeSkool and 4 others Thank this. -
Congratulations on your upgrade! That thing looks really nice. I hope it'll keep you two rolling smoothly and living comfortably.Albertaflatbed, The_vett, OldeSkool and 2 others Thank this.
