AJ - Design, Brian - Bolt Sleeper Manufacturer, Schely - Marketing
 
We have a Bolt Custom Trucks 100" sleeper that we appreciated so much this is our second one to purchase.  While the sleeper is beautiful that is not the only reason for the choice.  The quality, the safety, and the quietness of the sleeper were a huge selling point. 
 
We like the way the sleeper is built and that the cabinet structure is part of the walls so that if in an accident this will help absorb any impact.  The cabinet doors lock shut and so should contain the contents in most situations.  Everything is powder coated so there are no squeaks that have to be covered up.  With the quietness of the Cascadia any rattling can be heard loud and clear.  I even keep coozies on any glass jars to keep them from rattling. 
 
The Dina-a-bunk is very functional and allows us to make the bed and stow the pillows while the bed is folded up against the wall.  The bed latches on each side of the bed frame and is quickly lowered and immediately ready for a good nights sleep.   The large windows on each side of the sleeper have a insulated cover that can be used to not only keep out light but to help keep the heat in when we are in sub zero temperatures with the wind howling.
 
Amenities include a 3-gallon hot water tank, a 20-gallon fresh storage tank, an Espar Heater, a Fantastic Vent with remote control, and an ONAN Generator.  We also like the USB Plugs at the foot and head of the bed.    I have a convection/microwave and cook us just about anything that my imagination can think up.  Sometimes I have to get creative with what I use to cook with, as I do not carry many bowls or casserole dishes.
 
We have been hauling freight for the past couple of weeks and we are settling into our new sleeper.  Even though the sleeper is basically set up the same as our old sleeper I still moved a few storage areas around and I am learning where I have hid stuff from myself.   The Cascadia and the sleeper are living up to and exceeding all of expectations.

Love the Bolt Sleeper arrangement. And yes it's always fun to try and find the things you have hidden from yourself. Speaking of hiding-- a lil bird told me there are still Mickeys in the sleeper that have not been found yet. hmmmmmm?
