I drive over here in America and I have to be honest, this video, your reaction, makes me feel like I'm driving in a literal rolling apartment in my Cascadia. We can actually walk around inside our trucks over here. Product of the radically different road systems I'd guess.
I’d take one of these in American specs please. Would make driving through truck stops and cities so much easier. Great videos from across the pond 🇺🇸🚛
I drive 9hrs a day + other work 2hrs and also sleep 7hrs the last thing I do is sit down and do lego. Gotta keep active for the rest of the day. I do walk for 2hrs and active exercise for an hour. Cooking too and i pretty much get another hour or two where I find myself sitting down. A lot of us drivers die youg because of lazy lifestyle.
Great advice, always good to stay physically and mentally active. Don't know if it was clear in the video but I certainly hadn't been driving for 9 hours, actually had been very active filming for 12 hours so you could argue I was recuperating and staying mentally active 👍
kev i like your vids m8 but that was half a review ,, whats the storage like under the bunk with the bunk being wider are there strutts to keep it up ? can you get it as a twin bunk ? does the tv swivel so you can see it while your on the bunk ? and most importantly can it pull a standard british trailer
Hi Kev i can see how happy you are just by looking at the out side of the XXL truck but when you saw the inside i could hear your heartbeat my friend and you really love every bit of that truck you really do and to be very very honest i would think luke c and jenko and scott would all love that truck what a great great vlog my friend really enjoyed it has well guess you will be dreaming all the time now about that truck anyway drive carefully and stay safe my friend
Great vid Kev, holy cow that bed is huge! I'm sure you're not that big but you looked tiny in the bed - and it's bigger than a single!! All those features too - coffee machine got me sold too lol. The swivel chair would be a total asset to most these days I would imagine so drivers have more room to do paperwork etc! You may need a word with your boss to obtain one for you in the future lol
Looks soo comfy for tramping. Does the head end of the bed raise and lower electrically? Nice little stavros cheeeerrrrrrrrrrrssssss to finish the vlog 😂😂
WOW he's so excited about that Volvo cabover XXL sleeper I can't imagine him coming over in the United States and laying in a bed of a KW 86 inch Studio sleeper conventional tractor I guess he will lose his mind he wouldn't know how to act it would be a totally new experience for him
@@KevTee I would never go back drama cabover I did that back in the early 80s it's like climbing up a building I love driving conventional tractors much more smoother ride more protection in front of you you have that long Hood plus it's a lot easier get in and out of it you don't have to climb up and down a ladder
@@KevTee I don't see how it's useless over you're Road unless you're in tight cities otherwise conventional tractors is the ultimate luxury best riding tractors there is Plus they are much safer more protection then a cab over I'm only telling you this from experience over 30 years since 1981 when I started out on cabovers they are deadly on head-on collisions Plus you have to climb up a ladder Plus you're sitting right on top of the steering axle I'm just keeping it real sorry if you don't like this message I'm just looking out for everyone with my experience with cabovers because I care I'm a realist
@@juliusadams1931 US trucks are useless in Europe. total lenght is truck + trailer. with american sized trucks the loads would be to small to make a profit. Then almost all roads and citys are made for much nimbler truck. Then there are different emision rules, electrical systems, saftey standards, speed limits etc. There are a reason why you almost never see an american truck in Europe or an European style truck in US.
Small cabin compared to American trucks with only one bed. There are trucks in the U.S. that have showers inside of a cabin. I mean not some ultra high tech advanced machines but regular "work horses"
great to see you back kev tee bet you enjoyed truckfest saw you on Luke c driving truck looked good truck earlier my son on my lap watching trying say your name keeps getting mixed up saying Luke c 😀
It’s interesting to see how these European trucks compare to US trucks. I do understand that many nightie roads in cities and towns such as London , Bristol, Canterbury ET AL were laid out with horse and buggy in mind as opposed to large trucks. (Lorries) . Even in the US we have cities such as Boston, Philadelphia and such that are in the same boat with narrow roads , It’s on my bucket list to get to the Uk for the Peterborough truck fest. I’d like to see these trucks in person . Ok, I need to get ready for bed. Company had me in fir a routine safety class in the AM From Springfield, MO USA keep it shiny side up and rubber side down.
Hi Kev , very impressive bigger cab, you would want check out the american cabs in there trucks even the VN volvo some them are like a double bed , i had the opportunity to drive and sleep in them experience i will never forget man
I'd the Mercedes Actros with the "sofa". In Euro cabovers bed should be in the top of the cab to have a loot of nice room "downstairs". This cab would be a mess with a bed taking all the space.
Great vlog Kev 👍 looking forward to seeing one for myself. Absolutely cavernous inside compared to mine lol (fh16 750 low roof....complete with dents in the roof from my skull 😂😂) my only niggle is that the interior is just a bit mono colour making feel a bit bland but that's it. Everything (on mine at least) is easy peasy to use so I'm thinking that the extra room will only enhance the experience. Got the comfort mattress as well which is soooo comfy. Many a time I've almost slept in too long haha
Wow great video kev . I dont think these going to be many companys that would fork out for them extras like coffee machine, tv etc . Would be nice though ha
Lovely motor......bunk space is brilliant, wish my Stralis ,which is actually a very good truck had that much room.....but glad the Volvo is not like that Merc you tested with the silly mirror cam and horrible electronic dash....!!
If they start making the cabs too comfortable drivers will be sleeping in all the time 😄 All this new technology almost makes me want to start driving again then my sanity kicks back in and says 25 years was long enough!
Guess you only think that cab is huge because you are used to small euro cabs. American cabs here (NZ) are that big (and bigger) and bigger still in actual America. I love american gear here for the space and euro for the comfort so yank linehaul and euro daily.
Nice truck kev but just a couple of things, Volvo have had a swivel passenger seat for donkeys years now, I had one in a v2 fh. I'm not sure what type of Volvo you drive but you said Bluetooth is a bonus, well Volvo have had this since al least 2000, I also had this on a v2. Nice to see that companies are recognising your following on RU-vid and giving you the opportunity to do reviews. Keep it up. P.s. you could to choose your demographic for the adds a bit better, just saying !!.
thanks you. the swivel seat is an option not often seen in regular units and Bluetooth was also left off the options when configuring the unit I drive but I am fully aware that the majority have Bluetooth 👍
Well done mate. I enjoy all fings trucks . I dont do all the social media stuff so havnt sn ure videos . Mayb al c u on the road sum time . Happy trucking ..
@@absly5 mate I've been around trucks most of my life in one way or another including heavy recovery, you think I need Google to tell me how to double clutch!!! You are so far off the mark 😂😂😂
I have not checked he specs out on this but it should be ok on the UK roads as It should not be any longer than a unit with Hiab fitted so stick a XXL with a tag lift should be all good for almost anywhere
@@johna6968 no i have driven a few just a slightly longer wheelbase stgo only there for heavy loads over 44tons gross a standard hiab only add a little weight
How about taking a course in video and sound editing? If I turn down the sound of the music to a reasonable level where I don´ wake up my neighbours then I can´t hear you talk.
