....at least that's what I keep in my pocket in case I lose traction.

Your advise had me laughing!
As we all know, the need for "space" is a hot commodity with these Rigs (never seem to have enough), now find myself envious of your solution - I too need pants with pockets like yours...care to share Brand???

Might be a little off topic but maybe not. The floor mats on my 2000 7.3l Sportsmobile RB50 4x4 are still hanging in there but the "living area" mats don't live long. My solution was to buy some cheap carpet and use the original carpet as the template. But the edges frayed like crazy. I wanted something like industrial strength stuff. I got a floor mat from Home Depot that I think I can live with. It is HEAVY DUTY and looks great. It can but cut with scissors but it take some time. It is not a woven carpet but made from recycled tires but has a nicer fabric type top surface with the typical waffle surface. It does not move, it does not wrinkle and wont' fray at any of the edges. So far I am very happy with the industrial strength mat for an industrial strength van. Here is the mat at Home Depot. https://www.homedepot.com/p/TrafficM...0600/206498886
