Refrigerator/inverter in the truck when you cannot idle?

i never idle i have a ARB Fridge with 12 volt. ( is plug in in 12 volt )best ever buy not cheap only no noises and days running without battery shot down. Now i have this fridge more then 5 years ( from6/16 ) worth every $. you can put the invoice in you Tax report

 

Put as many ice trays with water in them as you can fit in the freezer, and don’t open the door when it’s turned off, it’ll stay cold long enough for you to sleep.

 

You will use the opti-idle when the truck is off. It has 4 batteries, so if no other draw on battery it will likely start and run itself for (estimating here) between 30 min and 2 hours a day if there is no other activity. If you drive every day, during the summer it will likely make it all night without starting itself. In the winter it will run for maybe an hour each night.

I leave my fridge open & empty with a towel in the bottom when I take time off.

 

For me Comfort not have a Price and is Tax eligible end of the year

 

Not allowed to idle?
I assume no APU then?
Worried if you can cool food?
(Store is cheaper than OTR)

Me, personally, I’d be looking for another Company to drive with.

 

I had same situation, although my comfort was more important than no idle policy so I idled when I needed to and figured they could fire me, no one ever said a word. Anyway, I put a fridge in and ran it off the inverter. Never had a problem overnight. When home I'd turn it off and put towels inside for any water. Most trucks have a fail safe if the batteries run down, everything is shut down so you have enough juice to start the truck. Even then, it won't be long enough to ruin anything inside the fridge.
