    It would have been nice if they had put a front opening cabinet door on the cubbyhole storage space that is really only convenient for someone who is on the top bunk. Just wasted space. Also, need to figure out how to add an extra shelf for the lower cabinet. I've never seen three foot high cereal boxes.

    I completely agree with you on the top cubby.
    That lower space is designed for the fridge to go there. Cheap company trucks will not have them.

    The Crapcadia is a poorly engineered, cheaply made mexican truck; I assume drivers get gooey over them because they just don't know any better.

    Drove one one from 6miles on the odo to 100,000 and I never broke the stupid shelf cabinets. It did shed a coffee cup full of fasteners in the sleeper every few months. Picked it up at 6miles on the odo and picked up a coffee cup full of fasteners from the cab. Repeated this process almost every month. What junk!

    Welcome to the sucky desk syndrome aka sds.
    I've got a 387 and if I were paccar I'd be flat out ashamed of this line.
    The desk isn't the only thing that sucks in this plastic pete.

    That space is where you store various ketchup and sauce packs you swipe from the markets and food places.

    I never used the desk. I had a little lap desk I used if I needed it.
