Like like I said I'm barely pushing 5'7 with my boots on lol. It has its advantages sleeper wise but on the down side it's hard to stay comfortable driving all day

I'm 5' 11 so I'll have to make it work.

Two of my coworkers have 48" flat tops and they put shelving across the back of the bunk just wide and low enough to put milk crates in. That adds quite a bit of storage.

I'm about 5'10 and I can pretty well stand up in the bunk to get dressed. The bunk is a little taller than the cab ceiling. What I usually do is pull my pants up to my knees, then turn around, and stand up. Sounds kinda funny when you type it out, but it works pretty good. I do have to duck my head a little but not too bad. For curtains, I took some of the foil bubble wrap insulation you can buy at a home improvement store, and cut it to fit each window. It will completely black it out in there if you want. It also helps keep it a little cooler in the summer if you have to sit in the sun very long. I just lay them on the bed while driving. They work great, but one thing I don't like is in the morning when its cold out there will be condensation or frost on the window, so you have to clean the windows off before you can go. I agree with Old Iron, about the cubbies, they aren't good for much, roll of paper towels, microwave food that kind of stuff.

That's a freaking mansion compared to the so called sleepers on the old cab overs. Be grateful you don't have to roll over the dog house to get in bed.
