    I found them rather uncomfortable, but that is just me. I miss the Pete with the American Sleeper, I think that is what it is called. It had a booth, table folded up into the wall. And the wall folded down, Murphy Bed, into a full size mattress. On the passenger side of the sleeper was a man door, that you could actually enter and exit the sleeper. I loved that design. I looked for one, but they are very difficult to find. I believe 2004 was the last year for them. Peterbilt really blew it when they discontinued that sleeper. Lightyears ahead of the Studio.

    Same here, and I used to drive one... Great cross country ride, hauling groceries or produce... Where I go, day cabs are the norm, and most of the docks were designed for just those guys... ;-)

    That beast would be in deep kimchee in my neighborhood. ;-)

    Mines like a 240" WB too. I've tripped out on it. But I'm a good 12 to 16 inches longer than 98% of the rest of the Cascadia's out there.
    But a new W900 with an 86" sleeper is 280" lol.

    I think 260 is the limit for Oh Canada too.

    I'm 244" in a ProStar with a lift axle, I swear it is longer than that, but have never actually measured her, I'm afraid too! LOL! It looks like a standard 270" large car to me, but I blow the minds of the day cab crowd when I twist her in the hole, LOL!

    We took 270" Petes and KW's into Canada, but we were pulling 48' trailers... Been awhile... ;-)
