Few from various fb pages.

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. :roll_eyes:
Leicester said sleepers, Thornaby said more money. :wink: :grinning:

Just one question about those top sleeper pods.
How the hell did you get in and out of them? :astonished:

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.


From fb

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 :+1:
I say odd time as we had 3 or 4 logbooks :innocent: so didn’t need to stop very often-happy days :rofl:

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. :wink:

What about this corker from a French fb page…

It’s a pity as I think this cab lends itself to a full blown sleeper cab.

Replying to les-sylphides obviously :grinning: :grinning:

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. :roll_eyes:

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.
