Hello Kev, is that a quilt or sleeping bag you have and where do you get them? Thanks ,Chris

[@perry1134]

I drive over here in America and I have to be honest, this video, your reaction, makes me feel like I'm driving in a literal rolling apartment in my Cascadia. We can actually walk around inside our trucks over here. Product of the radically different road systems I'd guess.

[@Romuls753]

This video, frankly, is an indictment of the European Cabover as a whole if this is the largest in the market

[@joshhelms8413]

Yea I'm sitting in Texas in a vnl 860 thinking this thing would make a nice day cab lol

[@Sham1r0]

I drive 9hrs a day + other work 2hrs and also sleep 7hrs the last thing I do is sit down and do lego. Gotta keep active for the rest of the day. I do walk for 2hrs and active exercise for an hour. Cooking too and i pretty much get another hour or two where I find myself sitting down. A lot of us drivers die youg because of lazy lifestyle.

[@KevTee]

Great advice, always good to stay physically and mentally active. Don't know if it was clear in the video but I certainly hadn't been driving for 9 hours, actually had been very active filming for 12 hours so you could argue I was recuperating and staying mentally active 👍

[@Romuls753]

[@daviddebergh254]

I’d take one of these in American specs please. Would make driving through truck stops and cities so much easier. Great videos from across the pond 🇺🇸🚛

[@alansimpson8735]

Hi Kev i can see how happy you are just by looking at the out side of the XXL truck but when you saw the inside i could hear your heartbeat my friend and you really love every bit of that truck you really do and to be very very honest i would think luke c and jenko and scott would all love that truck what a great great vlog my friend really enjoyed it has well guess you will be dreaming all the time now about that truck anyway drive carefully and stay safe my friend

[@theutgardianchannel1952]

that's huge! almost as big as a daycab kenworth (I'm just joking lmao, I would take this over an american truck all day)

kev i like your vids m8 but that was half a review ,, whats the storage like under the bunk with the bunk being wider are there strutts to keep it up ? can you get it as a twin bunk ? does the tv swivel so you can see it while your on the bunk ? and most importantly can it pull a standard british trailer

@@KevTee I would never go back drama cabover I did that back in the early 80s it's like climbing up a building I love driving conventional tractors much more smoother ride more protection in front of you you have that long Hood plus it's a lot easier get in and out of it you don't have to climb up and down a ladder

[@juliusadams1931]

@@KevTee I don't see how it's useless over you're Road unless you're in tight cities otherwise conventional tractors is the ultimate luxury best riding tractors there is Plus they are much safer more protection then a cab over I'm only telling you this from experience over 30 years since 1981 when I started out on cabovers they are deadly on head-on collisions Plus you have to climb up a ladder Plus you're sitting right on top of the steering axle I'm just keeping it real sorry if you don't like this message I'm just looking out for everyone with my experience with cabovers because I care I'm a realist

[@KristoferOlsson]

@@juliusadams1931 US trucks are useless in Europe. total lenght is truck + trailer. with american sized trucks the loads would be to small to make a profit. Then almost all roads and citys are made for much nimbler truck. Then there are different emision rules, electrical systems, saftey standards, speed limits etc. There are a reason why you almost never see an american truck in Europe or an European style truck in US.

What is the price on that truck? A brand new Volvo VNL 860 here in the US , around $160-170,000.

If they start making the cabs too comfortable drivers will be sleeping in all the time 😄 All this new technology almost makes me want to start driving again then my sanity kicks back in and says 25 years was long enough!

[@jimgemmell2831]

Just needs one more thing, the mighty D16K 750 engine in it.

[@danielfairweather9229]

Great vlog Kev 👍 looking forward to seeing one for myself. Absolutely cavernous inside compared to mine lol (fh16 750 low roof....complete with dents in the roof from my skull 😂😂) my only niggle is that the interior is just a bit mono colour making feel a bit bland but that's it. Everything (on mine at least) is easy peasy to use so I'm thinking that the extra room will only enhance the experience. Got the comfort mattress as well which is soooo comfy. Many a time I've almost slept in too long haha

[@martindicker9468]

[@webcrafty]

Nice truck kev but just a couple of things, Volvo have had a swivel passenger seat for donkeys years now, I had one in a v2 fh. I'm not sure what type of Volvo you drive but you said Bluetooth is a bonus, well Volvo have had this since al least 2000, I also had this on a v2. Nice to see that companies are recognising your following on KZbin and giving you the opportunity to do reviews. Keep it up. P.s. you could to choose your demographic for the adds a bit better, just saying !!.

[@KevTee]

thanks you. the swivel seat is an option not often seen in regular units and Bluetooth was also left off the options when configuring the unit I drive but I am fully aware that the majority have Bluetooth 👍

[@americanfreedomlogistics9984]

It’s interesting to see how these European trucks compare to US trucks. I do understand that many nightie roads in cities and towns such as London , Bristol, Canterbury ET AL were laid out with horse and buggy in mind as opposed to large trucks. (Lorries) . Even in the US we have cities such as Boston, Philadelphia and such that are in the same boat with narrow roads , It’s on my bucket list to get to the Uk for the Peterborough truck fest. I’d like to see these trucks in person . Ok, I need to get ready for bed. Company had me in fir a routine safety class in the AM From Springfield, MO USA keep it shiny side up and rubber side down.

[@turemickelsson480]

I'd the Mercedes Actros with the "sofa". In Euro cabovers bed should be in the top of the cab to have a loot of nice room "downstairs". This cab would be a mess with a bed taking all the space.

[@lokis7230]

Volvo had that layout in old FH around 2004. You could fold the lower bunk to two chairs and a table. They called it office.

Put a manual handbrake & gearbox then I might be tempted
