Bentz, in conjunction with Cherokee Kenworth in Columbia, South Carolina, offers a portfolio of six integrated sleepers for Kenworth T660 and W900 trucks. This “factory custom” sleeper program brings the best of both worlds to our most select customers—production designed and manufactured floorplans with all of the features and benefits of a custom sleeper. This program is focused on professional drivers at the highest levels of their profession including:
- Tractor applications—collector and specialty car, trade show exhibit, moving & storage, aviation components, motorsports, ammunition & explosives, museum art, computer hardware
The key features of this sleeper program are the stand-up cab integration utilizing a one-piece fiberglass roof to the front windshield and unparalleled factory appearance and fit-and-finish. The sleeper integration sets new standards for aftermarket modifications. The cab integration is seamless in appearance. No cut-and-paste seams filled with sealant. No boots to leak. No bending over to go from cab to sleeper. Unmatched legroom, headroom, workspace and storage. Unmatched levels of vehicle styling, interior design, components, power systems and amenities. And in today's world of high diesel fuel prices, unmatched levels of aerodynamics.
Other key construction features:
- All-aluminum Huck-bolted cab structure including .190” & .125” floor and wall structures and .063” body panels—cab structure that is strong enough to withstand the brutal vibration and pounding of heavy truck suspensions and rough roads

- Four-piece modular fiberglass shower/toilet enclosure for hotel-like amenities and superior fit-and-finish—modular assembly eliminates leaks and makes for an attractive finished products and the surrounding aluminum structural cage ensures a solid installation for durability
