    Well, got the new/old girl home, It had an inverter in it but the previous owner removed it, they had inverters at Peterbilt in Moncton so I had them put one in it, asked for it to be installed in the same spot as the old one, behind the pass seat.... so its behind the drivers seat. $%^$%&*!! Good times. Everything seems to be working fine except the fridge, it was working when I looked at the truck, but seems to be dead now. I have a few days to get some things ironed out in it and get my stuff inside, I'll have to go buy some more cable and re do the inverter......
    Any way, thanks for all the encouragement! Seems like a step backward to go from a new truck to an old one, but time will tell.

    My fridge quit on me once too. I unbolted it on the sides, pulled it out a bit and discovered the power lead had worked it's way loose and came off. That was an easy fix.

    I need an operators manual for the Truck and Carrier APU, I didnt get either, he couldnt find them.. looked on E-bay but no luck.. need to know what breaker is for the driving lights and what amp rating it is , I would like to put a set of 100w moose lights on the front bumper as no mirror stalks to bolt them to.
