I used a 6 inch Twin mattress and took off about 6-7 inches, stuffed a body pillow along the side to fill it out all the way. Also added a 3 inch memory gel foam topper. Laying down feels great. I'm 5'11" and fit diagonally. Thought about pulling out the passenger seat but will see how this works out first. Didn't build a frame cause I found out my truck is heavier than I thought it would be and trying to save every pound.
My truck weighs about 9300 lbs empty... about a 1000 more than I expected.
Showing off my new ride!

in about 2-3 weeks I get my new 2019 Take 3 Lo Pro Ultra Lite trailer and then off to start working! -
Here are a couple of stock photos of the trailer I just put a down payment on
I had an option of renting a 3 car kaufman triple axle but due to me starting as a non cdl I decided to find a lighter trailer. The rental was a bad deal however I looked at it.
They wanted 750 a month and I would be responsible for any repairs and maintenance, or 1300 and they take care of everything. Decided it would be smarter to buy and build equity in a new trailer and rent it out when I am done with it.
This trailer weighs about 5200# and the kaufman scaled in at about 6700#, less wheels and axles will save me money on maintenance and tolls.

Nice truck. I'm curious how this setup would qualify as a sleeper though?
