    It makes a secret compartment open up for convenient stowing of the track suit and shower shoes.

    Do you have a drive cam installed?. I have been in trucks where there was a button on the dash that would save video if you hit it. Presumably if you were in an incident that wasn't severe enough to automatically activate the camera recording.

    DON'T PUSH THE RED BUTTON !!!



    Open the dash, the button will have either an air line or a wire attached to it. Trace them down and see what they're hooked to.

    Just press it….

    but first… make sure you have clean underwear on. And make sure your ‘beneficiary’ list is up to date….

    I would have to know. But I would get someone else to push it while I was standing outside of the truck.

    Just in case.

    I know. One opens the floor under the sleeper and the other extends the pipe, thus eliminating the need for those pesky lavatory visits. :biggrin_25523:
