    What is the best features in a cabin that you could think of for a truck? I'm talking a TV, minifridge, microwave, stuff of that sort. Anything that could make a driver feel more at home, encourage a healthier lifestyle, and ultimately make the driver happy. Thanks

    It's a little overboard, but the point I was making was: the more amenities a truck has the more comfortable drivers are and the happier the drivers will be (usually). Some of these drivers you just can't please no matter what you do.

    Seriously though, for me: a microwave, fridge, power inverter, APU, 60-70 inch sleeper with plenty of storage, 70 mph, 13-18 speed trans. A place to put my CB radio. I don't sit enough to watch TV unless I'm on a 34 hour restart and even then I'm usually busy doing something. Sirius satelite radio is nice though.:p

    DD38E1A3-7696-4BC1-9DBC-8541B0C3938A.jpeg Other than my nice sized fridge /freezer and my cooltron cooler onboard to hold my condiments.

    Plus

    My 3 -1/2 gallon simply lemonade bottles with built in handles to hold onto while I pee and my seat from Dicks sporting goods for my bucket.

    And my Oster convection toaster oven and my ice maker and 2 quart automatic coffee maker

    I really Dig my new Respawn Gaming chair I put where the passenger seat used to be.

    Makes watching my 40 inch TV comfortable while I am sitting back eating after cookin up my meal

    My new old truck I just bought is getting a shower in it though and possibly a better toilet system , but no chemical toilets, to smelly.

    I’m
    Thinking a small urinal that goes into a 5 gallon waste tank and a composting toilet with a negative pressure fan for when Dooty Calls after morning coffee.
