No child, but my wife to be came with me to Italy many times in my F89 on WhiteTrux. The previous driver had removed the passenger seat for some reason so she settled to sit on the bunk. We eventually appreciated the ‘modification’ as it gave a lot more room in an otherwise quite cramped cab. For instance much easier access under the bunk for extra storage.
