    You should be able to use 12v appliances like a crockpot and lunch oven

    Yeah that seems like the way to go now, I just jumped the gun thinking I had everything I needed such as an inverter; I’ll stroll around a truck stop at some point

    Check amazon if you plan on going home soon. Truckstops are legal thieves.

    Only problem with a crockpot is you put everything in it in the morning then a few hours later you are smelling it. It can make you hungry all day lol

    Or deliver to a portal. If you know where you'll be when it delivers. They hold them for like 3 days.

    Good ideas, but I think I’ll settle for the “home” option, been awhile; yeah I can tell truck stops are pretty cutthroat
     
    Wasted Thyme Thanks this.

    I’d have to pull over to eat some of that pot roast lol I haven’t experienced this myself but I heard the smell lingers for some time if you cook inside the truck
     
    InTooDeep Thanks this.
