Default Cabover Question??

I am looking at a cabover and would like to ask a question. Are they easy to get to the motor as the regular trucks like the newer Petes?? Are they harder to work on?? Is there anything I should know that differs from a pete or kw??

The closest one is over 100 miles away, so i would like to know these things before I drive to look.

To check the oil most had an acess door somewhere but to work on them you had to tilt the cab up, And you had to make sure you had your stuff secured in the cab before tilting.
