There are no rules about where I have to store my clothing I just want to get minimum legal with 2 guys in the truck. Maybe I'll try to find a smaller bunk and just bite the bullet on cutting the cab.

How is it going with that single axle class 8? Could you find 5 to 6k loaded miles a week if you intended to team?singlescrewshaker Thanks this. -
Does the sleeper actually have to be accessible from the cab? Or can it just be a stand alone unit that you access from outside the truck?

Yea, log off duty.singlescrewshaker Thanks this. -
As singlescrewshaker suggested I may be able to pop the back glass. Even if I don't use it for entrance I may be able to use it to meet the cab access requirement and generally use the side door of the bunk for access. I can't imagine my 220lb self wanting to crawl through a window very frequently.

The problem is, the co driver has to be somewhere legal. If it's not a legal sleeper the co driver can not be off duty while the truck is moving. If it's a legal sleeper he can stay there is whole 10 hour, but laying down while awake gets uncomfortable quick.
But even that can legally be gotten around. I think the biggest problem with putting a bed the lengthwise from front to back the the restraint system. You can't just get a webbing system like in a semi and bolt it down. It has to meet specs and the big one is it must be able to withstand 6,000 lbs of force applied toward the front of the vehicle. All the webbing I've seem distributes the force at the side of the body, not the feet and crotch.brian991219 and singlescrewshaker Thank this. -
