    Can't say, but in the Cascadia the Heat has not even come close to draining the batteries.

    Well I have the climacab in my Pete, and I've never had a battery issue when using the heat. There should be the normal batteries on the driver's side in the step box, and 4 more in the passenger's side step box if its set up like mine. The webasto actually burns diesel fuel, just not much. The power is really only powering the blower motor and the small fuel pump.

    Well got my Xmas card in the mail today. Didn't come with a police escort....lol. But it was it nice amount. Made for a happy holiday for this guy when he gets home.....lol.

    In the door on my last drop here in Hopkins, MN. 7 deg outside but will be heading to Hammond, LA tomorrow so warmer weather here I come. Also roads really crappy up here. Guess that snow storm did a number on the place. Everyone was about 10 mph today. Took me 2 hours to go 44 miles then 1.5 hours to go 28 miles.

    Won't effect the truck battery but you will know when the APU,s go down . You wake up freezing. Like I just did. And I have a reefer cord

    Here at Tyson in Dakota City. Trl looked like someone back into the reefer. Took pictures going to email Mark soon. Also load was 44430 so was 1240 lbs over gross. Waiting on Tyson to take the extra weigh off. Started off like I was going to have a good day. Not any more....lol.

    Got my $2500 bonus. Sure was nice gift. Thanks to the nice people.
    Maybe things are looking up. I heard that starting 2013over we will have a 2500 mile guarantee. Put the pressure on Omaha rather than drivers doing without because of lackluster effort. If the folks there cant produce they will find some that can.
