No way I could drive the last one they gave me today.. it had a doghouse and a coffen sleeper... I can not bend today as I did back then.. LOL getting dressed was better done outside next to the truck, than in the bunk.. Last few years before I retired, I was alternating between my double bunk and single bunk Cabover with the dog house. I'm a big guy, over 6'3" and 260 lbs. I shared the sleeper with my 65 lb Chow/Great Pyrenees mix. I managed, but preferred the double bunk, or my Marmon walk-in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How on earth did you get that dog in and out of a cabover every day? Now I'm not all that tall but it was still a mighty task to lift my 50lb dog into our Mh cabover when we still had it. I remember having to lift her above my head almost to get her in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lifted him to the drivers floor and he scrambled up onto the drivers seat from there. When he was younger and more agile, he would jump onto my shoulders to get out. Later I had to get him a ramp, but with that, he only took a few steps down the ramp and then jumped off the side of it! Believe me! No one was more glad I retired then he was! Before him, Jesse was 76 lbs. I put him in and out the same way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black dash is plastic resin back when they built dashes to last.... Yes, I remember that. Also, the plastic on the top was very thick. That’s probably why it looks as good as it does. That thing is certainly a lot better looking than that Volvo….. bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a hell of a time just lifting him up there and I was only about 31 at that time … bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
