Tips for Customizing Your Sleeper Truck

Sleeper trucks are important for drivers who spend a lot of time using their truck as a home away from home. They’re made to provide shelter and comfort for drivers to rest! Our team at California Truck Centers wants you to stay safe and well-rested on the road, so we’ve put together a few tips for customizing your sleeper space. 

1. Choose the Right Bedding and Accommodations

There are a few different options you can choose from when you look at the design and accommodations available in a sleeper cab. You might want space to upgrade to a full-size mattress or you may have a driving setup that requires bunk beds. Identifying your needs before making any decisions or changes will help you create the best space. 

Also be mindful about the type of bedding you choose. Make sure to find something that is appropriate for all weather; lightweight, breathable, and comfortable. Finally, pay attention to storage and multi-purpose furniture; these features can make life easier down the road! 

2. Find Small Appliances

It can be difficult to stay well-fueled as you drive, but you can add small appliances to your sleeper to make mealtime easier. It also gives you more access to cool and hydrating beverages. Adding a small fridge, toaster, and even microwave can completely change the way you eat during long-haul jobs. Most trucks already have the appropriate amount of power to run small appliances, you’ll just need to organize your sleeper to allow for additional items. For example, a small foldable table might be helpful!

3. Choose Electronics Built For Semi-Trucks

Although we all stay connected and entertained with our cell phones, it can be useful to have electronics like TVs, stereos, and movie players in the sleeper cab. You can shop for electronics that are specifically designed to be installed in a semi. They’re built small enough to take up little space and tough enough to withstand the vibrations and bumps from travel.

4. Add Your Personal Touch

Adding gadgets and appliances can be a big change, but really the best way to customize your space is to add your own personal touches. Don’t shy away from adding accessories, colors, and trinkets that represent your style or remind you of home. 

You can string photos, add throw pillows, and choose your favorite colors to completely makeover your sleeper cab. Having an area like this can help you rest because the space will feel more familiar and relaxing.
