Back there at minimum is his bed. Most trucks also have cabinets for storage, tv/vcr/dvd combo's, microwave and or a refrigerator. Some trucks have even more room. The bed may convert to a couch for daytime lounging, there may be a table in the front of the couch, computer station, small dining table. Custom sleepers most commonly seen on moving company trucks can pretty much have anything they want installed, including toilet, kitchen sink, and a shower. They may cost in excess of $100,000.
