I’m curious if a Class 8 has ever been made with a crew cab and a sleeper? Doesn’t matter from manufacturer for from aftermarket.

It would be huge. You are not sleeping 4 people back there.
You want either a sleeper truck or a crew cab truck and hotel for all 4. There is not enough frame space for all that.LoneRanger Thanks this. -
Check CR England. One drives, one in the passenger seat and three in the sleeper.
On a serious note no I don’t think so, but if you really want one I’m sure it can be custom made.Cabinover101 and LoneRanger Thank this. -
I was thinking a crew cab with a double bunk, or even simply adding 2 extra seats to a current condo sleeper.
-
The road trip trucks we had had bunks removed and seats with restraints provided for 4 souls in addition to trainer.
Otherwise there is no benefit to having 4 people on one truck, you would be earning more running 4 trucks one each or two as teams each.
Having both a crew cab and a sleeper bunk introduces more problems, primarily in disinfecting, hygene and necessary laundry which will be a bit more important because 4 humans in a space of a walk in closet dumps a awful lot of stuff and it will cause problems in a health situation to personality conflicts.
What I have not heard is "Why" and should be the first question I have for you... Why? would you consider such a monster?JReding Thanks this. -
Wouldnt be any longer than a double eagle or allied movers type truck.
I built a 4door sleeper medium duty toter. Same length as a CCLB f350.FlaSwampRat and Long FLD Thank this. -

A Class 8 Toy Hauler?
you have apartments behind the driver theses days, I was wondering if someone if anyone ever did a Seating for 4 in a class 8 plus Bunk or 2.
I sure as hell wouldn’t mind a nice pre egr KW or Pete as my toy hauler.
I know I know you haulers exist, they do but it’s still not a class 8.
@x1Heavy for personal family use.FlaSwampRat and Long FLD Thank this. -
Class 8 crew cab from manufacturers? Yes. Freightliner FL80. Crew cab and sleeper? No.
Freightliner also made the FL70 crew cab (class 7, single drive axle vs. dual for FL80... I bought two). And Ford offers the F750 and F650 (classes 7 and 6, same cab as F350 and up).
The Freightliner Sport Chassis (recreational) was the M2 cab and chassis.
FlaSwampRat and LoneRanger Thank this. -
Either way if it’s a class 7 any of them had class drivetrains? Like a series 60 14L with a 18spd.
I’m not sure why might be from my younger years but bigger is better.FlaSwampRat Thanks this.
