    Nope. It's what the other buyers want. How insane does that sound? Most of the people who buy our trucks don't want a top bunk, so, we don't get a top bunk. And it saves weight as well. That's how it was explained to me.

    if the Apu is set up like it was at Transam
    it has to be programmed to start automatically
    the apu mechanic and I were talking one afternoon how i wished my apu started as soon as my engine shut off
    He said I can fix that
    I mentioned it in the drivers lounge later on
    next morning he had a line of T700's waiting on him when he got to work ;)

    Lol, I bet, It's definitely nice that way.

    With ours we can enable and disable it as needed. When I'm on the road I have it set to auto then when I go home I just disable it.

    I am planning to remove the top bunk from mine next home time.

    When down, it is too close to the bottom bunk for me to sit upright. So I always have it up.
    Then again if it is up and I lean against the back wall my noggin hits the lower edge. Un comfortable!

    Going to build a narrower shelf about a foot further up so that it is actually functional for me.

    Nice looking truck. What kind of specs do they buy? Also what is the wheelbase on those trucks?

    I can't do this anymore with these people. I'm tapping. It's one thing to do this with a Lessors truck. This is a whole other level of stupid.
     
    Dinomite Thanks this.
