my friends in texas has just replaced is volvo earlier this year with this kenworth and just sent some pics so i thought i put them on
not a bad kitted out sleeper at all ! remote start generator 21"flat screen satellite tv, inverter, shower toilet oven & hob, fridge freezer single bed & double bed 13 speed automatic box hes had it 8 months and clocked over 170,000 clicks he runs for american van lines work as , husband & wife team they carry artwork all over the states for museums galleries
oh!!! can you guess were they are originally from sorry no prizes given :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :confused:





you can walk through the sleeper onto the catwalk or patio

this was the volvo it replaced

That’s some motor there truckspark. A lot don’t realise the miles your expected to cover when working stateside, they just look at it through rose tinted specs!!! And think it’s easy.

It’d be the Volvo for me any day, the living quaters on the KW look like an afterthought bolted on the back of a very ugly truck. Mind you it is nice inside. As im sure the Volvo is.

Nice truck, and the spec looks brilliant, but conventional cabs just don’t do it for me I’m afraid. Cab-over every time. I’d happily sacrifice the space for a top of the range high spec euro truck.

I’d have gone for a Volvo VT 880 myself.

All it needs is a bit of stone cladding down the sides & some horse brasses on the walls :laughing:

IMO those bunk conversions never look right on anything but a KW W900 or Pete 379/389 & even then it’s a matter of taste, not mine I might add, I would’ve stuck with Volvo, same cab as their previous one but with the new front, the 16 litre Volvo lump, I shift & disc brakes, now that’s a nice piece of plant.

The wheelbase on those long sleepers is ridiculous too, I saw one trying to back into a gap in a truckstop the other day, no chance & they ended up driving off, good job they do have a cooker & a toilet/shower in them as the only place big enough to park them is an empty shopping mall car park.

That is one fine Motor, it’s just like a home.

If Mr Vain owned it after all that polishing would there be any time for work■■?. Ill swap my actros for it. :laughing:
