Bentz, in conjunction with its dealer partner Stoops Specialty Trucks in Fort Wayne, Indiana, now offers new 100", 130" and 150" integrated sleeper cabs for the Freightliner Cascadia. All three sizes are offered in two configurations-a rear bed or a rear door.
 With styling based on the highly aerodynamic Cascadia factory sleeper roof, the Bentz integrated sleeper will feature a one-piece fiberglass roof with a finished height of 13'4". The all-aluminum sleeper structure features smooth exterior side walls with no rivets. This is achieved by using the coach joint method of cab assembly where structural joints, both welded and Huck-bolted, are hidden in the interior wall structure.
Bentz also will also utilize its aluminum structural cabinet platform to increase structural strength, reduce overall weight, and increase storage space. Cabinet storage space is increased by 18% over previous Bentz integrated sleepers for the Freightliner Columbia/Coronado.
The Bentz integrated sleepers feature industry leading comfort, styling, interior design and aerodynamics combining the best of factory integrated sleepers and the best of custom aftermarket sleepers.
This SST "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.
 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.
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.
