Gadgets to have on the truck...

I'm getting t-shirts made that say what you're thinkin'....Injun already has one on order. =)

 

All right ladies and gentleman,

Give a big round of applause for fellow member Chompi!! Google earth is a life saver and an invaluable tool and he could not have said it better!!

actually, i'd use YellowPages.com, and then go to the map with 'birds eye' view. you can pan and rotate 360 deg. give you a better idea of what to expect. only problem with YP.com is that it can be sooooooooo

#### Richard; have to give you props on some of the useful online tools you mention. Would never have thought about using the online YellowPages. Sometimes the most simplest things are right in front of our eyes.

 

Is there any consensus as to the brand of inverter to buy?

 

I have a Powerdrive 300. It is ok for the laptop. I think a 400 Cobra is on my list.

 

i like the cooler from trucker fridge it works well a little more exspensive but i think well worth it

 

asus t91mt, last year's streets and trips with gps receiver for $20, poi megafile download. eclipse logbook, netbook mounting bracket. literally dollars away from the billy big-rigger gps and infinitely more useful.

 

Another cool gadget to have on the truck is the stereo system with the auxiliary input. Pop a movie into your laptop or DVD player, connect the earphone jack from that to the stereo and you can hear the movie through the truck's speaker system just like at the movies.
