| May 2010 - Dear ARI Family, We wanted to thank you for a job well done! We have felt so blessed with the convenience of our big 156" sleeper, working out here all over our beautiful country. It was so refreshing coming to your work site and receiving such great care (from an immediate appointment to being prompt and efficient with your workmanship). Blessings to all of you, I'm sure we will see you again! Sherry & Harvey DelCamp | |
| January 2010 - Just finished our 1st year living in our ARI Custom Sleeper. We saved $18,000 in fuel costs, $12,000 in food costs, $14,000 in hotel costs and we expect to save at least $5,000 on our tax bill! Ed Godfrey |  |
| November 2009 - We can't thank everyone enough for all the help and service we received in building our new sleeper. The quality and workmanship in your sleepers is above and beyond. We have had comments on the quality of the finished product. Also I want to comment on the staff, each and everyone we dealt with was pleasent and professional. Thank you so much for making this a wonderful experiance on our second sleeper. Tom & Deb Charbonneau, TC & Sons Trucking |  |
| June 2009 - Thanks for your help customizing my sleeper. It is great! The big fridge is especially nice. I like the table for many reasons, but still have not figured out how to secure the jigsaw puzzles, particularly at night. Please thank the crew for me.

| November 2008 - I just felt I needed to take the time to write this little Thank you to you and your staff. Roger and I have owned our 150"custom built sleeper for 6 years and it still looks and performs as good as it has from the first day that we picked it up from ARI. We work for United Van Lines and spend at least 9 month of the year in our Truck and it has not only saved us money and hassle but has eased our burdens of so many other things. The Craftsmanship of ARI is beyond anything that we could imagine. We haven't had any maintenance on the sleeper in 6 years and even have all the original appliances down to the coffeepot. They can't be beat! Thank you ARI...Job well done! Roger and Wally Pence |  |
| I wanted to let you guys know how delighted I am about my Legacy Sleeper. With out discounting all of the cosmetic and creature comforts your sleeper affords me it also has another redeeming quality. That quality would be the health benefits of making exercise and eating healthier achievable by way of practicality. Most of us out here on the road often think about being healthier but are bound to eating and getting clean in the truck stops. We have perhaps one of the most unhealthy jobs on the planet. Since I have had my sleeper my cholesterol has dropped from 220 down to 198 and my weight has dropped from 240 down to 205. I attribute this directly to be able to shower at will after a work out on my bike and being able to eat good food and save money while doing so. I would consider this aspect of your product to be worthy of mention.

| We enjoy our extra room for our scuba gear. So when we do have time off we can go diving. We have more comfort on the road. We like our shower. We are now able to eat healthier and get more exercise. The guys in the service dept. do a good job. - Rolling Dice Express
Mark & Penny Batchelor | |
| Lee and Grace say they love their 144” ARI/Volvo. Lee says, “these trucks make you money, they do not cost you money”. They enjoy healthier food by eating most of their meals in the truck, the benefit of being able to stay over night close to where they are working instead of having to make their way to a Truck Stop and appreciate the fact they can stay in a quieter more relaxing location.

| After using our ARI sleeper for over a year, we continue to be impressed with ARI's product quality and service. We shopped around. ARI got our business because they made it easy to think through all the options and spec the sleeper we wanted. The price was right too. This sleeper was built to last. We are confident it will serve us well for ten years or more.
Phil & Diane Madsen |  |
| “We would recommend an ARI sleeper to anyone! We talked to everyone and you can tell by looking that the quality of ARI is better.
We were impressed before and we are even more impressed now that we own it!
There is a huge savings from a studio sleeper to our ARI, just in the money we save from eating out, and it is a lot healthier!”
Don & Donna Haynes | |
| “Owning a sleeper has changed my life so drastically. When people ask me, I tell them don’t wait!” Fred Williams |  |
| "I could never think of going back to a regular truck now." Randy Davis |  |
| "The time you save by having your own shower is tremendous. You can get more sleep and extra miles comfortably." Dale & Kristy Martin |  |
| "We save $1200 a month just in food by using our sleeper." Ed Kupper |  |
| “I tell everyone I meet to buy an ARI Sleeper. They are the quietest going down the road and they have the best service department!”
Dave Weston |  |
| To ARI’s Service Department:
We really appreciate all the fine work you did on our warranty issues and the added items that we had done on our sleeper. It is nice to know that after you purchase one, you still strive to make sure your customer’s are happy.
Your Service Department is a top-notch operation.
Sincerely,
Jim & Judy Smith

| “ The sleeper is great, I have had no problems with it. I am looking forward to doing business with ARI again. I will defiantly tell my friends about ARI.” John Ogle |  |
| I wanted to take a minute to express how happy we are with our ARI sleeper. My wife and I bought our truck from Trans-Advantage in February of 2006. After much research and advice from others, we talked to a lot of people who had after market bunks of all makes, and I think the most satisfied people were the ones with your product.
First let me say that the quality of your bunk is outstanding. The workmanship and attention to detail is far superior to your competitors. Many of the standard features on your bunk are things other guys only wish they had in theirs. Courtesy lights, brass fittings, all insulated pipes, and cedar-lined wardrobe, when mentioned, have raised many eyebrows. Great layout and design!
Second, but equally important to me, is your commitment and service to your after-sold bunk. Whenever I call with questions or need help with something, your employees have been quick and eager to help. I can not say enough about Kelly, he is a real God send. He knows that bunk inside and out. I have called with questions in regards to how something works, or what I needed to do in certain situations, and right off the top of his head he would have an answer for me. He is a great representative of your company and gets our praise. He once walked me through a problem that extended after hours and was still happy to help. That is something that is hard to find these days. Most people, after 4:55PM, it's time to go home and they let you know it. But not Kelly, he stayed with me until my problem was resolved.
In closing, let me say "Kudos" to ARI products and employees. The quality of both is what makes you guys number one!
Sincerely,
Jeff Fillpot Jeff Fillpot |  |
| "Having the ARI sleeper really has improved our quality of life on the road. We make more money because we can stay out on the road longer. It is our home on the road."

| He figures he saves about $600 per month on food. Saves a ton not staying in motels.

| We save between $800 and $1200 per month on food alone. We can not walk out of a truck stop with out spending $30 for the two of us to eat.
I saved over $3,000 last year in fuel costs because of my generator and not needing to idle the truck.
John & Carla Berry |  |
| We save over $500 per month on lodging savings and meals alone. Bob & Joan Hawkins |  |
| Saving time and hassle with having a shower in the sleeper is the best. Dave Berish |  |
| “With not eating in the truck stops we save at least $20 per day on food”
- Randy Kramer |  |
| "My wife and I were out west a month ago and ran into a nasty ice storm. So we pulled off into a truck stop, turned off the truck and fired up the generator. We had our showers and dinner and waited the storm out. After a couple hours the ice caused power outages everywhere, including the truck stop. But that did not bother us, we were self contained with our ARI sleeper.
Convenience is the biggest thing to me. Convenience is saved money. We save a lot of money every month on coffee alone. Only regret is that we should have done it sooner." - Dave & Pat Hirsch |  |
| April 2005 - We just wanted to say thanks for all your support for showing the sleeper at the shows. You make the best sleeper on the market and you should be proud of it! Thanks again! Donnie & Susan Pardue |  |
| Still loving our beautiful sleeper. Brady & Lisa Perry |  |
| This is about the "Home on the Road" article that was written in the April 2004 issue of Big Rig Owner Magazine. I just wanted to let you know that there is another Sleeper House in Shipshewana, Indiana. It is called ARI. This is where I purchased my Sleeper. For the money it is the BEST ONE IN TOWN. I was just wondering why you didn't mention them in this article???? Richard Stewart wrote the article he might want to give ARI a chance to show off what they have. Their phone number is 260-768-4704. They are #1 in my book. Walt Sowden |  |
| Next to my kids, our ARI sleeper has been my greatest joy! Lois Paulson & Bruce Ervin |  |
| We would like to thank each and every one of you for building us such a wonderful "New Home"! We absolutely love it and it sure makes life on the road easier to deal with. Believe us everyone we come into contact with will know about ARI and the great service you provide! Thanks again for everything. Pat and Tony Nee |  |
| I would just like to thank you for making a dream come true. We have talked about having a truck like this, but never imagined that it would be so great. The personalities of everyone were great. It seemed like you went out of your way to make this a great experience. We have had so many compliments on our sleeper. It is almost like I’m a tour guide. The quality is amazing! We definitely will recommend your company. Thanks for everything. We will send an 8x10 picture of our truck soon. We also entered in a truck show and won two trophies. "Best Interior" and "Best of Show"! Thanks for the great job you did. Tom and Deb Charbonneau |  |
| We purchased our first custom built sleeper from ARI last year (October 2001). Our sleeper has made life on the road much more enjoyable. ARI designed and built our sleeper based on our ideas and requests. The gel coat walls, the rear screen door and the beautifully detailed interior give ARI a definite edge on their competition. ARI continues to provide us with outstanding customer service. Sherry and Todd Quist |  |
| March 25, 2005 - We would just like to thank the whole team at ARI for the great care and kindness you have given us. The folks at ARI are pioneers and innovators, creating state of the art sleepers that leave your competitors in the dust. Keep up the great work and we look forward to purchasing our next sleeper made by the great folks at ARI. George, Amy & Baxter Shields |  |
