Flat floor with no engine tunnel? That’s something I think I would like, although I hear it makes it harder to keep the floor clean across the rest of the cab.
Head room? I’m 6ft 1 and I would like head room.
Wide bunk? Does anyone drive the Volvo Xxl?
Double bunks or single with overhead storage?
Just a few questions I would like to hear people’s opinions on and hear what other things people have or want in their cabs.
But I got a new unfitted one for £50 in an ebay auction. I probably would maybe fork out the full price if this one broke.
Eberspacher do one as well but went for the Teal one as knew it could be fitted outside the vehicle.
Was going to mount on the actual cab back but went perfectly on the back of the catwalk pull out air deflector in the end. I’Ii post a pic if I can remember.

Don’t forget the pictures! I would like to see how you fitted it.

Got a feeling the 1st tip tmrw will be a long one and will take some pics then.

I wouldnt say flat floors are difficult to keep clean, you should have mats down really, i just brush them, then blast any dust off with the air duster.
Double bunks are a must personally, so is a built in fridge.
Since I’ve been spoiled with a proper sleeper, I couldn’t do without a full size wardrobe to hang my clothes. having a standard household size single bed is nice too, no smashing my face on the back of the seats anymore. A fitted fridge, like those ones they have as minibars in hotels is nice too, as is having a shelf for a microwave and enough storage bins to put everything away tidy

After doing Rock’n’Roll trucking for a year or 3, usually away around 2.5 months a time, although 6 months 2 weeks was my record, this did me well…
loads and loads of storage space, you dont actually need a flat floor if the rest of the cab is big. one of, if not the best bunk on the market, very very comfy and very wide. Built in fridge, 20" telly fixed on inside of cab above passenger door, PS3 in one of the lockers. Havent had a 105 so dont know if theyre better or worse.
Been driving a Merc Actros 2544 this week, with the auto box on the arm rest, nice big cab with flat walkthrough floor, twin large bunks, table, loads of lockers and a really comfy drive.
Only downside, as the company no longer allocates trucks to a specific driver so there all pig filthy, empty maccy dee stuff, coke cans, ash tray full of ■■■ buts and stinks.
Cant believe how somepeople treat these trucks, I asked if i could wash it last night after i clocked out as i would be using it today and was told no !!
Apart from that really nice truck in my opinion but i havnt driven many others.
