    I don't know if there is a list. There is only a handfull of truck stops that have that and it's usually only about four spots .
    While I'm sitting here thinking the only one that comes to mind right now is that fj. South of Walton ky or maybe it is Walton?
    You'll probably have to make calls and formulate your own list

    Are you talking about Engine Block Heater plug in's or an APU? Why would you plug in an APU?

    All they told me is I have to plug in my truck to a 3 prong to recharge my apu if I have to sit more then 8 hours and don't want to burn up

    ...then you don't have an apu...you have an inverter, which runs off the batteries and will drain them.

    I think he may have an EPU. Shore Power can make them run indefinitely.
