The Burton Digital "lunchbox" (at TA/Petro) will do what the RoadPro will, plus it's temperature is adjustable, so you can use it as a slow cooker as well.

A thermoelectric cooler (about $100) solves the leftovers problem. Make a batch, and divide it up into the disposable food containers. It'll keep for a few days.

 

I am a very recent CDL school graduate and I'll be heading to the Roehl facility in WI in the next week or so. I'm only telling everyone this to show my lack of expertise. I did find a forum on a healthy eating site that discusses some food options for drivers: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/973661-recipe-grocery-list-for-over-the-road-truck-driver

It looked helpful so I thought I'd share...

 

How about a rv fridge that switches between propane and electric? Is this legal or practical?

I've been reading about the no-idle laws was thinking... which is probably my first mistake.

 

If you can get one that can use 12v and 110 maybe... But propane? Where are you going to store a tank of that? Plus the venting you would need... (Think burner, outside vent)... Nope can't see it in a conventional class 8 ...

 

I would imagine there would be some companies who would restrict flammables like propane being on the truck to begin with.

 

So I can't strap a propane jug on the catwalk? Lol - I suppose that would be a little odd. There might even be some fed regulation about it.

I'm imagining my daily routine in the truck and I love the fridge in my RV.

 

We have 2 apt size fridges strapped to the top bunk ... One as a fridge and the other as a freezer... Both run off our 2500watt inverter...

 

2 or 3 way RV fridges work on a different principle than 110 Volt home or 12 Volt truck fridges. They have no moving parts.
RV fridges don't have a compressor and contain ammonia which is heated to where it becomes a gas. This heat must be vented to the outside.
There is no need for a propane or 110V option in a truck because there is a charging source every time the engine is running. Whereas an RV fridge could run without an electrical source for weeks, running it on 12 volts is extremely inefficient.

 

Bob, are you a mobile fridge salesman on your 34's? Thanks for the info, I don't have it through my head yet that I will have full access to 110 power.
