    I am almost done with my school and was wondering what is the biggest size tv that could fit in the sleeper of a truck. I plan on bringing my xbox due to probably being out for 3 to 4 weeks at a time but the smallest tv I have is a 32 flat screen, any advise or comments would be great.thanks

    Get your CDL / Training / Solo truck and then worry about a TV.:biggrin_2559:

    32" seems ideal. I like plasmas for gaming. has a better refresh rate.

    A trk is not that big inside,you'll only be a few feet from your tv.I would get a 19 inch,32 inch will be too big.There's no place to secure it safely I don't think.

    I have a 19" flat screen and now wish I had gotten a 32" as depending on what kind of truck you get where you would normally put a tv in open space of cabinet on passenger side would accommodate a bigger tv. You just need to get one of those small ratchet straps to strap the bottom of the base in the back of the tv would sit against the sides of the opening and sit securely.

    here is how my tv sits

    I spy a fifth wheel. Extra revenue hauls a Pup filled with REO mobile Products
    Long wheelbase and pup ( Imagine that )

    Shame on me for generalizing lol

    Honestly get your truck first, because it will matter. 2nd the largest I carried was a 25" lcd flatscreen. It seems larger in the truck than it does in the store.

    And leave the xbox/ps2 at home. You won't have time to fiddle with that stuff.
