    And in many, maybe even most, NA trucks you can stand between the seats with another foot of head room. The area directly above my windshield is all storage. But that is not living space. It's storage space and a walkthrough to the sleeper. I'm not getting dressed while standing between the seats and give the euros a view of my ###. Nor am i going to stand there while cooking and eating dinner.

    Not seeing what we are missing. And we did try a retarder , with the CAT BreakSaver. And got dismissed. Maybe living in a broom closet appeals to some. The Cascadia condo , you stand up at the steering wheel and walk back to the sleeper. I am 6'4" , standing at the steering wheel , I can not touch the ceiling . In the Scanica where am I to put the 42 inch tv? Dorm room size fridge?

    I was explaining that in a EU cab it is, very difficult to comprehend it seems.

    For that we have a unique invention, curtains.

    Guess what, EU drivers don't do that either.
