Default Question for long distance drivers....

Just wondering what you would like your sleep cab to feature that it does not currently have?

And what do you really like in sleeper cabs atm?

And finally, whats your favourite sleeper cab?

Cheers!

I like a stand up walk in bunk area.
I would prefer a queen size bed that would convert into a futon type couch.
A 25 to 30 inch flat screen television hung on the sleeper wall.
A rear access door to climb out of in the event of an engine fire.
A factory specced 2500 watt inverter (with circuit breaker) with pre-wired household plugs for appliances.
Specially designed shelves to accomodate an elevated refrigerator (so you dont have to get on your hands and knees to get something).
Overhead shelving over the bunk area (high enough so a driver could sit on the bunk and still have a couple of feet between his head and the underside of the shelf) with restraints for folded laundry.
A shelf area beside the bunk that would act as a night stand.
An integrated truck gps routing screen inset between the speedometer and tachometer.
A rubberized floor mat throughout for easy clean up and soundproofing.
An apu integrated into the truck cooling system to keep the engine warm and the fuel heaters running.
I would like to see a built in axle weight guage inset into the dash for the steer and drive axles.

As for which bunk design I like, I am partial to the new International Prostar. Although I like the 84 inch bunk space of the Macks and Big Daddy Freightliner.
