I am getting ready to buy an OTR truck.
Thing is, I would much rather get a 915 series truck and put a sleeper behind it.
Much cheaper, obviously.
Darn cool!
But HEAVY with the winch for the 916 and 920. Plus the drop in MPG with the front live axle.
I know I could pull the winch and at least put a coffin cab on a 916, and probably a decent sleeper on a 920. Bit of work, but doable.
Is there enough room to do this on a 915A1?
And, anyone know the weight of the entire winch setup from the 920?
Soni, didn't you take your setup off in lieu of an electric rear winch? Any idea on the weight savings?
I will have more to ask tomorrow, but I thought the sleeper idea behind a 915 series would be a good start. I need to be out on the road for 2 or 3 days at a time. And don't want to spend $ on a motel ALL the time!
