    Just the other day for the first time I saw a new Volvo truck and it was a normal size but part of the catwalk was used to extend out the sleeper about two feet that was interesting.

    Those are pretty nice especially for the size. Everything you need in a fairly small package.

    I'd love to have a rear door to the catwalk on my truck. I would probably never use the side doors again.

    I’ve just been looking into having a custom sleeper built, care to expand on this comment? Bold is one I’ve talked too.

    I have been considering approaching a company that does cargo van RV conversions to see if they are willing to renovate the inside of a standard sleeper. Have not done so yet.

    No firsthand knowledge but have been hearing horror stories about some of the sleepers done by Bolt on some of the expediter straight trucks. I would find some that had Bolt do the work to talk to before laying down any $$$

    I would like to do something like the Scania Longline truck.bunk fore and aft passenger side and a small table in the middle and a seat on drivers side with a small sink on drivers side. Put fridge and microwave around the top of sleeper with cabinets and drawers under the bunk at least half the length. Would work in my 82 inch sleeper.

    Never seen that interior before. That is very cool. I'd love to do that to my Volvo 780, almost exactly. I almost have room too.
