No problem.Glad to do it.
I love this thread I just arrived at springfield for my upgrade and keep coming back to this making lists of things I want, and trying some ideas of my own. does anyone happen to know the measurements from floor to window on the door? I want the largest fridge and cabinets I can get :) haha I know its the same on a full size but my trainer doesnt have a tape measure. thanks in advance.
Here is a pic of Steve's truck
Nice!
There's simply no room to mount a tv. Don't let that stop you though. I had a 32" tv in my LW truck before. I put it at the end of my bed when I wasnt using it, it worked out just fine. But there's not enough stable wall space for a tv mount.
Has to be a way. Im sure if I keep this post on top long enough someone will post a pic.
Not sure how good your fabrication skills are, but...I made a TV mount out of 1/2" plywood. It is cut to the shape of the sidevent window in the sleeper (with hole cut out to access the vent), which extends upward almost to the plastic trim above. This is backed with weatherstripping to prevent damage to the window trim. It is attached using thes factory holes with longer screws. Then you just attach a TV mount from Wal-Mart or wherever you shop. I have a 24" flat screen mounted, and it fits quite nicely. I also attached a surge protector to theplywoodd, giving me more outlets.
As for a fridge...I cut a piece of 1/2" plywood to fit in the passenger side. The fridge is attached to the plywood, and the plywood attaches using the seat bolts (countersunk). I did have to install small eyelets into the woo so I could run a tiedown across the fridge for more security. The fridge faces the driver seat, and you have to move the rubber shift boot to open completely. To secure the doorsduring travel, I used some window latches for sliding windows. I used the large dorm fridge with seperate refrigerator/freezer doors. They are $129 at Wal-Mart.
I would post pics, but my fabricating abilities outshine my mobile upload abilities. 😄
If you would like pics PM me your email or text info, and I'll send them.
Thanks so much for your post. I'm only 5'7" so I don't think the smaller sleeper will be a problem - will just have to be more creative for storage. I like the idea of some of getting the curtains to go around your windshield area -- like we had in our big RV.
So the links for this post have expired. I've tried to do a Google image search for lightweight Prime truck, but since I'm not sure what the difference between that and a standard truck is I don't know what I'm looking for. Anyone care to upload photos they might have?
Gah. There doesn't seem to be an "edit post" function. I meant to say "photos of the INTERIOR". Thanks.

Sorry for the technical difficulties! Daniel B. and Brett should be able to get these pics back up. Just give them some time to get things back to normal.

All good. It looks like the original poster's links on ImageShack expired.
