Well, just read the whole of this thread, and not a single pic of an Econofreight Atki from Leicester.
Juat a rabbit hutch widened by folding forward it was far better than sleeping across the engine.
Already in place before I joined them I understood that both Leicester and Thornaby depots were asked to vote, sleepers or more NO money. Or perhaps NO money or less NO money.
Leicester said sleepers, Thornaby said more money.
Just one question about those top sleeper pods.
How the hell did you get in and out of them?
Only one F86 as well, mind you if you were not vertically challenged you could with a bit of ingenuity sleep behind the seats. Mine had a purpose built board with a mattress on. Worst thing was the curtains hung inwards.
My F86 had a factory fitted folding bed across the back, the odd time I used it it was very comfy. SWMBO made me curtains long enough to tuck down the back
I say odd time as we had 3 or 4 logbooks so didn’t need to stop very often-happy days
Was there ever a sleeper cabbed version of the Scammell Handyman offered?
I’m sure there wasn’t Dennis. The Scammell shown a couple of posts up the page is a Trunker. It’s owner-driver converted the fibreglass cab into a sleeper for Middle-East work.
It’s a pity as I think this cab lends itself to a full blown sleeper cab.
Replying to les-sylphides obviously
Couldn’t that be the top half of a Ford Serie D cab?
It could be, but what’s the point? Just so you can stand up on the bunk? Be a bit difficult to climb into a bunk up there, but then, I never did work out how people got into top sleepers.
Ask one of the thousands of Poles who spend a couple of months in a Renault Master or Iveco Daily’s roof bunk in France!
Similar idea but less glass, i agree with the comments about the point of the first one, also would imagine it would be like a greenhouse in summer and cold in winter.
