    I've never been bothered by fog lights.

    And, driving a Volvo with lousy low beams, my fog lights are on when it is dark. I need them to see more than 200 feet!

    You can't cool down with the A/C off, but you can warm up with the A/C on.

    A/C on, basically, ALL the time.
    It dehumidifies the air, and lets you control the entire range of temperature.
    And since the cab and sleeper have separate controls, it is best for both.

    It really should be a no-brainer.

    If your fogs go farther than about 100', then they are out of adjustment.

    The fogs on my Volvo are useless; they hit the road about 20' in front of the bumper. My low beams, OTOH, work just fine.

    Fogs are meant to be adjusted parallel with the ground, so they have some range.
    My low beams point down, just like every Volvo I have driven. They only have a range of a couple hundred feet like that.
    I have requested them to be readjusted at many shops, and they all tell me NO.

    I don't know what OTOH means, by the way.

    All I know is that I can't see well enough with low beams alone, and the fogs help to some degree.
    So I'll use them whenever I'm driving at night.

    I have driven ProStar's and Cascadia's, and I had no problem with the low beams. But EVERY Volvo I have had simply kept me in the dark.

    You can adjust the headlights yourself with a screwdriver. There should be Left Right Up Down and Oblique

    The Kenworth Sleeper Suite that he had was the same way, it was like they were not even on.
