Bolt On Sleeper

anybody ever install a used bolt on sleeper on a pick-up? wandering if a 48" flat top had too tall of a walk-through opening for the back of the cab.

Question Bed size?

What is the legality you are having a problem with? My buddy that goes cross country with his Quad Dually says you just have to have a 72" straight sleeping area. He just removes his passenger seat and is cool at the truck stops he uses.

Did you get that oil in the fuel issue done with? How did that work out? Didn't find anything else on search after your last post.

truck is still at team dodge,last saturday after 8 days they tell me to pick it up because they can't find anything wrong with it(demontrond dodge cleared the codes)i made it 9 miles before the check engine light came on and it started running like crap(like running on 2 cylinders)i turned around and after
i managed to get it in 6th gear it started running normal but the light stayed on.today they say they have driven it 38 miles and it's ok.they said they have their computer hooked up and have to keep driving till it acts up again.
i thought they should be able see the problem was through the check engine light/codes but i guess not.they also say that theres no oil in fuel so i'll have to change it and then keep an eye on it,that's if i ever get it back!

I had a road master sleeper on another truck, but thats like 9-10k. I run mine commercially too and since there really is no benefit of being able to log sleeper berth anymore I just log off duty. I had thought about a cab and chassis and doing a sleeper when I bought my Mega, but still wanted a truck that I could use as a family friendly vehicle when I was home.

yeah it's nice to be able to flip the mattress up and lift seats for the family but it would be nice to have the extra room to stretch out and be legal,and with a 4500 cc haul a little extra weight and have 19.5s
