What if it Snows?

It’s so nice to have our own coffee. Now we need a bigger refrigerator. It’s a work in progress, like the whole Truck is. I enjoy planning and upgrading it. Gives me something to think about while driving. Paint frame, polish it up, re do interior.

 

Plan C, show up with a case of beer, some cash. Get a Yanmar Diesel generator for the Truck. Buy a small Mini split, a/c unit. Already got the box. Glad you got a generator. What size? 4000w?

 

Maybe let the truck run...? And buy a 12V coffee pot......

 

I have wired many a house and did commercial work too. When it come to inverters I take them to a local RV shop those guys know their ####. That's what they do all day with coaches and trailers

 

Do yourself a favor if doing this, get a CO detector. I've been running a generator for 7 years, last year the conditions were just right and I got CO poisoning overnight and was lucky to wake up.

 

A 1500 watt inverter came with my truck. It wouldn’t run my electric tea kettle without the engine running and idled up to about 900rpm. It took almost 6 minutes for the water to boil.

I went to a known source that works on apu’s and a/c (Texas Truck A/C). I showed them my tea kettle and current setup. Turns out Prime did some sketchy things wiring it, but it was still too small. $600 later I’ve got a sine wave 2500
Watt inverter with brand new correct sized cables. Boils water in 4 minutes and the engine just has to idle.

If that thing burns the truck to the ground they’ve got suitable insurance and are an actual business. Done. Easy.

 

Ok i just witnessed fed ex driver hit a moon crater at about 25mph in the truckstop. He went bouncing up in his seat like bull rider , hanging on for dear life, pretty sure his head made contact with the ceiling. Lmao.
