I spent one night alone in my extended cab, at 6'2" it was a miserable experience hopefully never to be repeated. I understand the sleeper.

Ya it is. I have spent more time sleeping in my cc then id like. Last trip was 3 weeks, 8 days before that, 2 weeks before that. I need space big time. I got a haul from miami to los angeles and was dreading the thought. Thankfully it was canceled. Need to get the sleeper now!

I was thinking about going something along those lines and getting one of those like box delivery trucks, selling the box and then dropping a CC/sleeper/bed onto the chassis.
But that is a little bigger a project than this apartment building would be down to let me do in the parking lot. For now I just keep a tent in my bed for when I leave the city, just in case. Always a forest service road I can pull off onto to get some shut eye up here.

Ya know the length of the blue one his long but the sleeper looks nicer on it. If the length didnt matter to you i would go with the blue giant.

ya, but i spend more then 3 months in my truck a year, a tint wont cut it for my kinda work. especially when i spent 3 weeks in 110plus degree heat and spent almost a month in 20 degree and under. too extreme to sleep comfortable in. especially with my girl with me and were trying for a baby, she would murder me before sleepin pregnant on the ground lol

There is that lol.
I'm a younger guy and up north here it peaks at 110 for like a week out of the year, the rest of the time a tent works quite well, as a younger mostly single guy it works for me.
