    I like the interior. I'll bet you could get a kitchen with a bed customized in that. 86" sleeper.

    Just think of the OM taking the whole bed stretched out across it.
    Then you realize you need a bigger bed, or get clawed trying to scoot into bed.

    I would like a studio sleeper, but that complicates things obviously.

    The Kitty Mommy 680 with a 120 is actually almost 30" shorter than that 900. I'm 242 now. So I'm thinking I might squeeze by with a 268, however KW's aren't known for being very agile.

    Casper turns pretty darn good for a 242. The newer trucks are 232, and they will pivot on a dime. When I took Truck 2 to get it's inspection and trailer, I was going " Holy crap." lol

    I seen it last week it is a unique color, but I was also scared of the paccar engine.
    My truck is paid for, so I’m may not do anything this year, although I know a guy who someone to take over his trailer, nice van with scales, skirts and tire inflation system.

    Just didn’t want to spend any money right now, after that big breakdown and eveything was around a $17,500 hit.

    I had misgivings when they give me a new T2000 back in 2001 late. She felt like having 30,000 on the front axle. Everything was forward. However in the end she did ok. Not bad actually. One can get used to that. They can lose the fairings off the fuel tank... one needs to get under there sometimes.
