Cab impressions FH v FM
Generally, both cabs have well lit storage facilities and extensive interior lighting, allowing the driver to find his way around easily. The night heater is now located beneath the door step, which reduces the noise levels in the cab. The upper bunk of the FH. though fully adjustable, is difficult to operate. Where storage cabinets are attached to the rear wall, it lacks headroom.
At 700mm, neither bunk is particularly wide. The upper, however, is at least equipped with a good mattress. With the optional Office Dinette' package, the lower bunk is divided into four sections which can be converted into two seats. The lower part of the hinged bunk support lifts up to function as a table. Compared with earlier generations, the materials are high quality and well fitted. The Globetrotter XL cab is rather softly suspended for some tastes.
Despite its high roof, the FM cab is tighter on space, and barely has enough genuine standing room. The dashboard. arranged as with the FH in a wraparound fashion about the dnver, is well designed in relation to the steering wheel and driving seat, with fine visibility. As you might expect, however. it lacks some of the Fl-l's luxuries. The FM cab is more firmly suspended, but nevertheless remains comfortable.
The FH16 differentiates itself from the FH12 by the terracotta interior, chrome fittings and grander steering wheel. The Fl-Icab generally offers more storage and accommodation than the FM, a total of 952 litres compared with its sibling's 377 litres.
