Truck sleeper manufactures

[5thwheeler]

Hello, everyone!
I am looking for info on truck sleepers, that could be placed on a cab and chassis, or cut-away van chassis with dual rear wheels.
I've found so far one from Double Eagle Industries. I like it(from online info), but after currency conversion it is very expensive(low 20's in Canadian) for me.

Are there other companies that make similar sleepers that can be used with 5th wheel trucks(Canadian maybe?) And what are average prices for them?
Also, I would consider a design similar to attached image.
Thanks in advance!!!

I know of a couple. Bentz sleepers in Fort Wayne, IN and ICT in LaGrange, Indiana. I don't have phone numbers or URL's but they shouldnt be hard to find.

Alumni-Bunk might be able to also. and they are a Canadian company.

Hope it helps.

Also here are some mini-sleepers they say can be used by small pick-ups and cargo vans. Very interesting....

WOW!!!
Thanks alot, guys!!!
Hmmmm...now I will have a new dilema - which one?!?! He...he...he...
Funny thing. "Alumibunk" is in my city, and I never new that. Surprise!
All of these sleepers are nice. "Sleepers"??? Hmmmm...Some of them are a little more then that. Too bad nobody yet producing a sleeper for a tilt cab(Hino for example) with a over cab slide-out for a "bedroom". During the movement or service it could be hidden. And during the rest it could be in "slide out" position. Would be a great space safer.
Also, these "tear drop" trailers are the blast.
Well, thanks again to everyone!

Here's one you haven't checked out:

Rodes Fabricators, Inc.
150 Dishman Lane
Bowling Green KY 42101

270-842-6886

We bought our sleeper from them and have been well satisfied with it. The price is really right, too. We bought a 72" unit for $6100 USD. It's not quite as spiffy as a Double Eagle, but a great value for the price.

You should give AA Truck Sleeper,Inc a call at 1 800 227-5337. Talk to the owner, Larry Miller. {Address is 2517 Minnis Dr., Ft Worth, Texas). He can custom build a great sleeper and stands behind his work. We've never seen a sleeper that we like better than ours, for quality or comfort. Bottom line is that Larry STANDS BEHIND HIS WORK. Ask around to see if the same can be said for Alumibunk. I haven't had the first problem with my AA Sleeper and I've had it for 14 mos.
