About 30 years ago I lived in a 143 for one year. Loved it. Simple living. Laundry in Charlton on my way to Dover. Shower on the ferry. Small camping gas stove. Kettle and small saucepan. Used these if I was stranded somewhere remote waiting for a return load. After a few months with the ' normal' people I moved back in for another 15 months. I can recommend it.

Hopefully big things coming for her soon

Love the look of the cab keep up the good work mate

New to the channel as of yesterday, watching from South Africa. Really enjoy your thoughts and tips, keep them coming!

Cool video sandy you keep her serious clean im sure its not always possible espically with timber or flat bed work but always nice to spend a bit of time haveing pride sitting in every time to a clean cab.

What a brilliant video Sandy keep them coming Sam The council man 👍

Nice one sandy … I used to do the double duvet as well when I was tramping … but now I do just two nights a week so single cover … drive safe mate

Another good vlog Sandy. Saw you today at Arrochar 😎

Fair play Looks cosy. 🤙

Going back a few years (maybe more than a few) I remember a few trampers that slept in there cabs and had ropes / chains & dwangs still in the passenger foot well changed days.

Im a canadian truck driver and its super interesting to see all. The differences but many similarities between countries. When I started driving I had only a 52inch bunk so pretty similar in size to your cab and would spend 2 to 3 weeks out on the road. Now my cab is probably twice that size with only 3 to 5 night a week away from home. I also makes me laugh the differences in size and length of trucks and trailers, I can't imagine my 80ft truck and float trailer fitting on those roads, I barely fit on some if the roads In our older towns and cities.

Great video mate, thanks for the uplaod!

Hi Sandy, love the vid. Just wondering whats the purpose of the diary at the start of the video, would you recommend all truckers to write down mileage, defects etc?

Mate you ever think of making video about getting your operator licence and all that is involved in that? Could be very interesting video! Cheers

I couldn't tell on the video, but you do know that if you slide both seats forward you can pull the bed out a few more inches making it wider ?

I find myself goijg in to work on a sunday night just to sleep in my truck i sleep better im my wagon than i do in my bed at home.

Drivers that don't like the idea of sleeping in the truck are probably mankie bar stewards and treat the truck like crap so they don't want to sleep in the dirty cab! 😂

Why do grown adults wear childrens baseball caps

Cab ratting isn’t for everyone, did it for over 25 years in general haulage then international. The services are shit for drivers over , much better in Europe!
