Truckers do use these as a home away from home. When I first got into trucking, I did it, myself. I had a 2006 Volvo that I had a fridge and a TV and DVD player in it. It's a helluva life, that's for sure. But for what I do, I don't need a sleeper and don't want one for where I go. For the money I save on not buying a sleeper, if I get caught up having to stay out overnight, I'll be able to stay in a hotel.
