If you really want a volvo, just get a mid roof, and if you still plan on doing van work you can always put wing on the top to push the air over the trailer.

BTW only the first link is the vn730, the second link is the vt830, which has the larger hood. They both look pretty nice IMO, but I'm not a fan of the exhaust placement on the vt830. Or the vt880. Keep it hidden.

I agree, the 730 has a cleaner look with the exhaust behind the cab.
On my truck I had to go out the pass side and up the side right behind the door,...to make room for water tanks under the sleeper. There was not enough room behind the cab either,...so off with the old, and on with the new,...in the location it was supposed to be when the truck was made,....go figure.

One thing to remember a lot of steel mills and other places you might go with a flat can have low doors or be in old sections of town with low bridges etc. I always cut my stacks so I can go through a 12' door.

My stack is at 11'6", and I was happy when this truck came up for auction because I like a low height,....I also intended on running a flat, or step.

We really like the 730 as well. The 780 has a table and two bench seats that provide more of a home feel (like sitting at the coffee table) and we sleep in on a foam mattress in the upper bunk. We could give this up if the 730 had the storage space downstairs.

I looked at a local 730, and it has a huuuuuge bed. I wonder if it's an option or not, or what the deal is. Severely lacked storage like you said. Oh well.
