    Same idea in the cabinets . Rolling your clothes, you can get way more stuff in there. Use the under bunk area fully. Best of luck.

    I'd take a picture and show you all what I'm working with, but I'm embarrassed at the disorganization I have going at the moment.

    Loving the idea you have triplesix, unfortunately that wouldn't leave a lot of headroom for anyone. (Not vetoing the idea, I may even do that. Just gotta figure out proper spacing.) I'm about 5'5", standing straight up there's about 1 inch between me and the roof. The other thing I'd have to fight is mattress size. There's a couple inches of overhang, so the mattress doesn't fit properly into the bunk area.

    Making shelving for the cabinets is easy enough, I just have to do it.

    ...now, I may be asking a borderline dumb question. I've seen some rigs that actually have space underneath the bunk itself, just reach down. Mine doesn't have that, it does however have a space that leads into the side compartments on the outside. So which do you mean when you say use the space under your bunk?

    How about you just leave your family at home and just treat this like a job? No other job can a person bring their family members and pets. I never got the "appeal". Truck driving is a dangerous job...why people want to put their loved ones in harms way is beyond me.

    I see posts on here all the time about "Who lets you have riders" or "Who lets you bring pets"---and these people will accept the worst paying, crappiest benefit, worst equipment on the road, jobs just so Fido can ride along.....and then whine about how bad their company is 2 or 3 months later. PHENOMINAL!

    Bunk lifts up, there are three sections under there. The two side compartments and a center section.
