Roadrunner Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) For some reason, I seem to be able to find very few sleeper interior photos on-line. Considering that the 1:25 and 1:16 kits seem to have no interiors (or minimal), scratching up an interior may have to be an option for me to look into (especially when I tackle a 1:16 scale kit). Anyone have links to some good sleeper interior photos? I'm looking specifically for Peterbilt and Kenworth. Thanks, fellas, Edited February 14, 2015 by Roadrunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ790 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Go to truckpaper.com and look at what is for sale. A lot of them have good interior photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highway Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have some that I took before I had to give up the 2012 Pete 386 I had with Werner Enterprises. This was the truck, and sorry for some dirt, I found the camera and took the pics before the vacuum came out! This was a pretty basic style setup, but I'm sure the more upscale interiors wouldn't be much different, except with maybe doors on the cabinets. This one only had vinyl curtains across the bottom two closets. Bottom passenger side closet and TV shelf. The curtain in this pic is the main sleeper curtain. TV shelf Rear passenger side upper storage, and this one even though it was the midroof sleeper, had a second upper bunk. It wasn't practical to use though, unless you were short, for a 6 foot tall person like me to sit up with it down a removable head would have been handy!! Rear wall storage, passenger side to middle Continued in next post due to pic limit per post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Rear wall storage, middle to driver's side Driver's side upper storage Better pic of position of upper bunk, and on window equipped sleepers, it would be just above the window, and the side door from to pic extended from just below the top bunk down past lower main bunk and to the under bunk storage box. Drivers side closet. Continued next post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Storage shelf above driver's side closet. Control panel for rear HVAC controls. This was on the rear side (facing rear of sleeper) of the driver's side lower closet. The extension above it is the upper storage area. The black box with "Espar" on it is the under bunk heater controls for winter. All that was visible of the heater itself other than the control box was the vent that exited through the rear floor wall under the front edge of the lower bunk. Oh, and by the way, the red lenses on the bunk lights were not factory, I changed them from the clear for "mood" lighting! Dash. The black knob on the right hand section of it is a power fifth wheel release. Instead of reaching under the trailer to pull the release handle, all I had to do was roll down the legs and disconnect the air lines, then get in and pull the knob out and drive out from under the trailer. Hope these help. Edited February 15, 2015 by highway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yep, they help a lot, Matthew, and I appreciate it. I did manage to find some imagery that depicts some really factory pimped interiors, but for sleepers much more humongous than what I'll be doing.

rctruk Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 You you might try the manufacturer websites...... Kw, Pete...ect. they have pics of their factory sleepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Actually, I did try that, Jeff, but with little success, though I didn't really go at it too thoroughly perhaps. One thing that seems certain, the early sleepers were pretty spartan in their fitting out, and I suppose that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctruk Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Kevin: I see what you mean about the mfg sites. I didn't realize that everyone seems to have gone to the integrated sleepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
