Thanks to all who have provided me with some feedback on this issue, I am still torn between the T-600, and the Volvo 780, and to make things worse my dad has got me thinking about a Pete 387. What to do, what to do? I know one thing I need to make a decision soon, but I plan on keeping the truck 8-10 years, and just dont want to make a mistake, that I will be kickin myself for down the road. 8-10 years is a long time to be kickin one's self in the rear, lol. Thanks again, and I wish all of you safe travelin, good roads, and good miles.

I thought about this when I started, and I came up with this setup:
2004 Columbia Mid-roof XT
Mercedes MBE4000-w-meritor automatic
Rigmaster APU
Teltek load gauge
45 by 102 flatbed airride
Premo Lubrication technologies oil cleaner
National Seating Premium Series seat-w- swivel, and massage function
Then all the goodies like;
Flat screen tv, mobile satellite tv receiver.
The truck came with a refrigerator, and a high quality inverter.

The midroof works well with the flatbed, and if your solo, you don't really need the extra bed.
The benefit is that if I get tired pulling a flat.(I doubt it!!) I can throw a deflector on the roof , and add a sliding fifth, to make it work better.

Good luck with you decision, and drive safe.
