    Myself if I were speccing a truck, I'd be going with the shortest sleeper available. Short truck, light weight, maximized payload, mo' money!

    If running short over night runs out and back to the house that would be fine, but if going out for two weeks at a time you need more room. Imo for a solo operator 110" bunk is the ideal size.

    If you got out on the road and discovered your choice of dinner options are subway, arby's, and McDonalds you might change your mind about that. And after spending an afternoon in July tarping an engine on the tarmac in Miami or ft worth you might appreciate the running water.
     
    spsauerland and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    EU cabover vs any flattop.......i will take the cabover.
    I like being able to stand up in my truck.

    EU coe vs studiosleeper.......no contest,the studio wins.

    Btw if you looked at the video you would see that there is no waisted space in a EU COE.
     
    spsauerland Thanks this.
