    Good god! It even has a lower roofline, no way I'd go 2 up in that thing! Those bunks are claustrophobic, is the second bunk aftermarket?

    At least in the R cab it's a flat floor so at least he could move around even if he couldn't stand up straight

    that is not an option, cab can be max 2.7m from ground i was thinking about placing low entry on low line chassis this would move cab more forward and engine would be below bed , price is standard as on p series and only problem you need to wait 8months for it

    now note above in images that there is in front of engine tunnel ladder for papers .....so without it you have that much space in front of engine tunnel....and imagine that there is no that bench on tunnel below.....


    [​IMG]



    this is only for 5cyl engines up to 360hp on larger engine you have longer engine tunnel and it comes too much forward ....i was talking with scania , they can offer it with bed and storage place for price as normal truck but for 8months .....

    our law allows to them 21m and height of 4.2m but than no body guarantees that you will pass once you get off highway there is plenty of trouble places
