    Alot of the drivers are using Cobra 29's CB's. There are several models, pick one to fit his/her individual tastes. Microwave 700 watts work well. Laptop or Flat screen TV, Gps, Rand Mcnally makes 2 nice models. The 510 and 710, only difference being the size of screen. Twin size sheets and comforters. Over the shoulder bag for shower supplies, big enough for toiletries, towels, change of clothes. Dirty laundry bag. Just a couple ideas off the top of my head. I am sure others will add what I have overlooked. Congratulations Proud Dad!

    if I was u I would get him/her a cb or an invertor (if the truck is not equipped with one). You can get a good cb for around $130. Me I'll be getting the cobra 29 ltd Chrome.

    A lap top would be nice it can serve as a communication tool and tc/dvd. Also a decent cb will go a long wats. A laminated large atlas. sorry started to give my christmas list lol. Congratulations DAD and Merry Christmas.

    If anyone is looking for CB radio parts, supplies, tuning, I have the luxury of having a nationally known CB shop close by. Sparky's CB Shop, located about 5 miles from me. I've known the guy since he moved here from the Boston area. Great guy, legit business! He actually cares, that's right, actually cares about doing his customers right! Check out his website sometime. Just Google Sparky's.

    I have not been paid for this testimonial....lol:biggrin_25523:
