Hey, thank you. I really appreciate it.
Absolutely ingenious. I love that conventional sink set up with the pump. Enough to brush, shave and wash up. Refrigerator for light eating with a microwave and coffee. Basically a college dorm set up. I love it. Drive and stay safe.

Thank you. Tried to get as many comforts from home into my truck 😄 stay safe as well.
Very interesting way of converting a standard sleeper into something that is functional. I'm impressed
Dude I’m sorry but Ima copy that setup lol!!! Looks so comfortable!! Don’t have a Freightliner yet but When I do 😏😜😅
I want a Classic XL. I watch you and Trucker AK. Both of you have beautiful rides. And I’m copying both of you as well😂
Dude! This is awesome!

Love watching your vlogs! Love your truck too, it’s beautiful!!
That is so creative and bad ass man. I’m shocked wasn’t expecting that. One of a kind no doubt. I hope to one day have a setup half as nice.
Great job man Looks absolutely great 👍🏻
Very nice. Drive safely my friend. God bless you 🙏.
Love your truck! I've always liked frtlnr classics anyway. But yours is the bomb! Great job, glad I found you.

Clean set up, nice ideas never seen anything like it, maybe after all no one need a 132 IN sleeper that gives you a headache to turn, I still want one tho W900 132 sleeper would be nice to have, you just got a new subscriber hopefully you can upload more often, appreciate the videos.

You can do the same with your sleeper. I have a 12.7 detroit series 60.
How did you get that couch in there?
Cool set up. Can you show more about the couch and how that works. I might wanna do this to mine. Where did you get the couch was it from an old camper or did you order it? The ones i found online are like from 600 to 1k$
@NomadTrucker

The couch is a jack knife couch from an rv like you guessed. We full time rv so we pulled the table and couch out of our rv to replace them with better ones. If you want a couch try and find a salvage yard or something like that to get one cheap. The very back seat out of the cargo/passenger vans do the same thing.
Awesome sleeper buddy! How did you get the couch in there?? I'm guessing you had the seats out...

I never seen someone do that to a Freight very creative Nomad . So which one is better your R,V. Or your Classic Long hood ? So nowadays everybody is doing the same thing for traveling buying R,V,s to travel & not taking cars, or planes to travel due to the virus stuff, R,V. Sales are at there highest this year 2020. Ride safe dude 🤙

Thank you. The classic is nice for when I'm stuck out on the road but I would always rather be with the family in our rv. We have been full time rving for just over 3 years now. We love it. Just pack up and go when we want. Stay safe driver.
I know i'm a late viewer to tjis video but what size sleeper do you have and how long is your sofa and where can i find one? Reasonably priced of course. Thanks, looks great.
@NomadTrucker

The couch is out of an rv. Look for resale parts places that focus on rvs. My sleeper is the 72" one. The couch i believe is about 67 or 68". There are several scrap yards across the US that you can find reasonably good prices on used furniture. Thanks for the comment. Stay safe driver.
Oh my god. Another freakin extended shifter. Gotta let everyone know you’re driving a stick when you go by

Hahaha. I love the shifter but I definitely didn't do it to let everyone know it's a standard transmission. Kinda like saying your driving a semi to let everyone know you're able to drive the biggest truck on the road.

Anything pre emission is a good buy. Classics and flds are rather tough trucks. Parts are everywhere and they seem to be significantly cheaper then any other hooded truck.

What size inverter do you run? So you took the panels off yourself 2 let the wife paint them? What region of the country do you run? I have a 01 Classic & I'm always looking 4 fresh ideas & you definitely have plenty of them. Thanks 4 the info. I'm gonna sub 2 your channel now that I've found it.

2000watt. It was my wife's idea to paint them. We removed them and she used brake cleaner to remove the factory wood grain vinyl crap off. She primed and then painted them. The worst part was putting the dash back together and trying to locate wires for the gauges. I stay east of Denver. My Instagram @nomad.trucker has several photos of the dash at night. Thanks for the love and the subscribe. Where do you run?

The whole process is relatively easy. Just take pictures before you dismantle and as you are. Use some tape and a permanent marker to mark the wires for the gauges. My wife used self etching primer and cherry red spray can from Wally world lol she also used a final clear coat. So far it's been like 5 years and they aren't flaking or anything.

Honestly, it shouldn't cost much. I had the couch and then counter top was a left over piece from a delivery to a job site. I only purchased the wood for the cabinets and the floor. You can even get on the resale sites and find the jack knife couches out of conversion Van's.
