Man I do miss driving a semi! I drove with my late husband. We always drove a Freightliner and we had it stocked (meaning a portable toilet, shower, mini crockpot, microwave, tv and so much more! I even cooked a roast (completely with carrots, onions and potatoes) the motor! We didn’t have the cabinets like y’all, it was just factory built.

This video is very well done. I have used some of your storage ideas in our truck. One thing my husband is particular about and really makes a stand on is that anything that is heavy or could become a missile in the event of an emergency stop or accident has to be behind a cabinet door. For us, that means we store clothing and lighter items in the upper bunk area and canned goods, appliances, and other heavy items in the cabinets. That can be a pain in the rear when you have to drag them out to use them but I guess it is safer. I hope our next truck has cabinets in place of that upper bunk but, like Jason, I wonder if we'll lose storage space or have trouble finding things.

Julie Vestal Thank you Julie! That makes a lot of sense to store heavier items in cabinets. Our next truck will have cabinets instead of the bunk. Bolt does make a conversion that they will take the bunk out and put cabinets but it costs around $2800.

Evening folks, after I got your reply to my reply I thought of something you might want to think about using in your overhead bunk, a little item called "cheesecloth". It's a fine netting that I use over the furnace duct in each room to catch any little bits the furnaces filter missed. I've only seen it in white. You could attach one end of it to either the top or the bottom of the bunk front area. Then take the other end of the material, roll it, and attach it to a 3/8 in. diameter wood dowel that could clip into place. It may not stop heavy items from flying about but it certainly would slow them down. Lighter things, not a problem, it would be like an arresting cable on an aircraft carrier. I live in earthquake country so I'm used to figuring out how to keep things where they belong. You folks seem to be truly ingenious in the way you have made your home both lovely and practical. I'm sure that you'll come up with something better than cheesecloth but perhaps it's a starting point. Thank you again, Bonzo.

@TheCraftyTrucker 6 жыл бұрын
Bonzo Schlacendaker Thank you Bonzo, that is a really great idea using cheesecloth! We never even thought about that as a solution. We eventually would like to remove the top bunk and add cabinets. We just have to find the time to do that. Take care & have a good week :)

Last night I viewed the video you made for your 2019? 2020? truck. Huge difference between that and this. I didn't see the bathroom/shower in this one. I do like the bunk storage in this one. That's a lot of space up there. I do agree with Heather it looks like the new truck has a longer counter top space.

Definitely know that Landstar emblem even if it is covered up.. I had a hino with a 98 sleeper.. I love all the space I have and I do agree with you about having the cupboards above the upper bunk were such a pain in the butt to get out anything... I had the double closets on the one side Where your one closet and refrigerator are with a little tiny side covered and then on the side where your sink is where my sink was on 1 side in my refrigerator was on the other.. My bunk on the bottom didn't lift up so that was one thing I wish it did do... But I have a friend Who has the sleeper with the actual shower and potty in it

The shower curtain is the right idea for the top bunk but, take it one step further and incorporate a cargo net so you don't have flying projectiles in case of a accident. Food for thought.

I live in a 35 foot converted construction trailer, and I have almost all my dishes and pantry items on shelves which would be kind of equal to your bunk, and I like it coz I can see at a glance what I have and is easy to get to and put away. I can also take the unloaded shelf down for cleaning. A little of that rubber mat stuff keeps expensive dishes from sliding off when pulling out the one beside it, etc. I also have labeled plastic boxes that act as drawers for utensils, and sugars, cat food, etc. that fit nicely on the shelves. This is the first time I'm hearing that Heather and Jason sleep together, "naughty" lol...... A really nice tour guys.... I'm going to do that cutting board idea over one section of my sink....

Pete_ Hine_Of_PA I think your set up sounds awesome! I bet Shyann knows exactly which plastic bin holds her food. LOL thank you Pete your comments always give me a giggle! You have to let me know how your cutting board sink cover turns out. :)

Thanks Heather, and I love that you guys usually take the time to answer reply''s, not just mine but most of them and I realize how time consuming that is, it's just another thing of many that makes you guys really awesome Vlogers ! And, yes Shyann is a real smarty pants, she knows more than I want her too, LoL. I forgot to mention, even though I live in a 35 foot construction trailer, I have a 6 car all block garage on 3/4 acres of land, so I can house my cars, lawn equipment. There is also a full bath and wood stove and detailed office in there, so I'm not a total trailer or tiny house liver so to speak as some people are. However, while I'm single except for Shyann, lol, this set up works great for me and is very cozy. I can imagine on a stormy night, laying in your bunk in that beautiful sleeper watching TV how cozy that must also be. I'll keep ya's posted on how I make out with the cutting board, weather I fabricate my own or buy something that works like you guys did. You guys put the "C" in Crafty Truckers...

I'll be getting my 5 ton 96" custom sleeper on the 9th ... I am finally going to "live my career dream" Was wondering what business advice you both could share with me to stay operational? I'm a saver not a big spender and the truck is a very well maintained 2007 purchasing off a retired truck driver. He took such good care of this 5 ton that you'd swear it was brand new. Otherwise I would not have invested in this truck. I have a trucking company that is waiting for me to start. The fuel tanks on my truck are two 100 gal tanks, I hope to get close to 2 thousand miles from refuel to next...? I really was so pleased to finally see this video of the same type truck and get an idea of how U2 live. I am going this alone with two small dogs. I know this lifestyle isn't for everybody but I love the travel and the customer service I am able to maintain. I hope I can learn some great tips and tricks from U2 and maybe our paths will cross at Flying J or Huskey... Safe travels U2

Heidi B Hi Heidi! Congrats on purchasing a truck and pursuing your career dream!! We wish you all the best! The advice we would give you on staying operational is to learn what freight lanes the carrier you will be driving for are the best. If you learn that you will mostly like keep running steady. Keep in mind with any carrier you will have down time especially in Expediting so it’s good you are a saver as you will need that extra cash reserve for the slower times. Also keep up with maintaining your truck .. even though it was well taken care of you can never predict when a breakdown will happen. As far as the two 100 gal tanks getting 2000 miles between fill ups may be pushing it. You’re probably looking more at fueling every 1300-1500 miles. That would give you more optimal fuel mileage. And above all be safe :)

It appears that the rear axle is about 1/2 way under the cargo box. I was thinking if the whole cargo box was loaded with equal weight items, it would be tail heavy. I'm not a weight engineer, but it would seem to be better to have the rear axle 3/4 of way under the cargo box. Would you have preferred a longer wheel base?

SanFranciscoBay Do to the heavy sleeper we need that tail heavy. If the axle was further back we would be extremely overweight on the front. Loading these trucks is somewhat of a science.

Just curious guys , does that cab style come with a shower/bathroom? If so was there any reason you didn't want it ? (I.e prone to leaks , more weight) I gotta ask , I'm a bigboy 6'5 370lbs , I told u B4 thinking of doing this w/the wifey! She's a lil bitty 5foot nothing Asian lady so she'd fit in the damn glovebox if need be BUT ME AND HER or hell me alone in that bed looks like a tight fit or some yoga lessons may be in my future lol is there bigger bed options or do both you All fit comfy ok !! Noticed the bunk above , I could sleep on bottom and wifey on top but hey what the hell happens if we get time off and wanna get frisky 😂💦💦💦

PopsAndAlly Thanks! You could do the toilet/shower combo in this size sleeper with an under counter fridge. The first truck we drove had a 96" ARI sleeper with the toilet/shower combo. It was ok but the shower was small and so was the fridge. You could always get a larger sleeper and do a smaller box. The bed is fine for us but like JW said being 6'5" your not going to be able to stretch out fully. Hope everything is good in sunny San Diego! :)
