Below, find the sleeper cab accessories that'll provide your sleeper cab with that "at-home" feeling just like the super sleeper semi's have.
1. Coffee maker for your truck
Truck drivers enjoy drinking a cup of delicious coffee while being on the road.
So, having an option of making coffee their own coffee whenever they're starving for it may improve the truckers quality of life.
There are specific coffee makers for truckers that can be charged with a 12V charger, which most trucks are compatible with.
Having a coffee maker in the truck allows the driver to make himself 3 to 5 cups of coffee without going out of his truck or having to wait arriving into a truck stop.
2. Portable toilet
An accessory that adds that at-home feeling to your sleeper is the portable toilets for truckers.
With portable toilets, you no longer have to wait until you have a good place to do your business.
These items can be easily installed in the sleeper and used whenever the truck driver needs to.
3. Microwave
Eating warmed up meals is healthier and tastier.
A microwave allows truck drivers to cook or to warm up the leftovers.
Choose a microwave for truck drivers that is compact and works with a 12V power.
4. Mini-fridge
Having a mini-fridge inside the sleeper cab provides truck drivers with the option of keeping their food and drinks at low temperatures. In this way, their food won't get spoiled and they can take it out cook it whenever needed.
It allows the driver to grab more food, put it into the mini-fridge, and roll without stopping.

You can clean up your sleeper cab by adding all your staff into a cab organizer.
6. Get a comfortable mattress
Having a good sleep is for a long-haul truck driver.
For that reason, you might want to invest in a comfortable mattress in your sleeper cab. Whether you choose memory foam or a spring mattress, it pays for having a good rest allowing you to be an efficient truck driver.
7. Get entertaining accessories
As a truck driver, you spend a lot of time inside. To entertain yourself during this period you can watch a movie, play a video game, or listen to your favorite sons.
Add more entertaining accessories into your sleeper cab such as HD TV, Blu-ray player, mini-stereo sound system, video game system, and other electronics.
8. Hang up pictures of your family and friends
While being away from your family, it doesn't mean that you can't remember the happy moments being all together.
Consider buying for your sleeper ca a digital picture frame that holds tons of images. When you'll have a look at the pictures sliding, you'll remember the happy moments together with your close ones.
9. Customize your cab to fit your tastes
Add different interior accessories that you enjoy and which give you that “at-home” feeling. You could even install soft plush carpeting. Don’t forget to add window shades for improved privacy at night.
Depending on your budget you can optimize your truck sleeper cab layout exactly as you want.
10. Upgrade your truck seats
You won't spend your entire off-time in the horizontal position sleeping in your sleeper cab. You'll naturally want to sit while watching a movie or working on your laptop.
For that, you can get a comfortable truck seat with added features such as heated or cooled options, massage, vibration, or anything else.
11. Cook on the road
Due to wacky schedules, irregular mealtimes, and unpredictable roadside food quality, truckers have poor diets.
To improve your diet you have several options:
- Slow cooker - provides you with the option to cook for yourself. You control how healthy you eat by adding vegetables to cook your lunch.
- Mini-fridge - holding a mini-fridge in the sleeper cab prevents food spoiling. Besides that, it keeps drinks cold even in warm weather.
12. Keep an electric blanket
Truck drivers may experience cold nights when they are parked in an overnight spot.
In some cases, an electric blanket may add comfort during the night because sometimes even heaters can't completely warm up the sleeper cab.
