I have a 1994 Kenworth W900, I’m trying to find someone who can stretch the sleeper. Right now it’s 60”, but I want to go to 120”.
ARI n ATG want $150,000 which I think is ridiculous.
Does anyone know of a place?

You can find used super sleepers, did you ask ARI if they have one or know of one?
-
I don’t want to spend $150K on a sleeper, I’d rather stretch mine
-
Your better off buying a used sleeper. Stretching yours would be expensive.blairandgretchen and TX2Day Thank this.

Custom Truck Sleepers
They are in Utahblairandgretchen and TX2Day Thank this. -
wonder what the ball park on price for that is, I know ARI is about $1000 an inch
-
@blairandgretchen has one of those fancy customs homes on his truck.
Sons Hero and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
They’ve gotten stupid high. Mine is way old, but I’m a low maintenance husband, so I just enjoy the dated amenities.
I bought the whole darned thing for $43k 6 years ago, but couldn’t replace even the sleeper for that.
Rather run a day cab and motel every night
Bean Jr., Sons Hero, Iamoverit and 1 other person Thank this. -
With some basic wrenching/carpentry/electrical and aluminum welding skills, a used sleeper from ARI or Facebook would be a far cheaper option.
Id rather have $250k tied up in a house note than a depreciating asset, unless I spent 51 weeks of the year in it.Bean Jr., Opendeckin, ElmerFudpucker and 2 others Thank this. -
I agree with a deprecating asset. But fabrication is expensive as well. For example, there is a shop in Pennsylvania that restores cab interiors. They are well know and do excellent work, but it starts at about $10k.blairandgretchen Thanks this.
