Ok so I think a thread like this would be helpful to experienced and new drivers alike. Post questions and advice on how you have your truck set up for comfort while otr. This should be a great thread.

I'll be the first with a question to start things off. I have a small microwave in the truck but it doesnt seem to fit anywhere well so I have to move it to use it then move it back to its riding position. Does anyone have a microwave mounted in such a way that they can use it without moving it back and forth from a secure travel position?
-
Plenty of power outlets 12volt and 110, spot for microwave, and APU. Built in fridge. Storage space.

My first tip is regarding coolers. I use an electric cooler 48qt I think. It fits perfectly in the lower cabinet on the pass side of the sleeper(Cascadia). It holds enough to get me thru the week and I highly recommend it as a money saver. I havent been able to bring myself to pay for an actual sleeper fridge because it costs almost $500 installed if not more.

I don't have a pic but I built a frame to fit my microwave then mounted it under a cabinet in my 2008 Columbia. Just like at home.

My trainer had his ratchet strapped around the top bunk

Thats different. So he had it secured to bottom side of top bunk? No issues like that?

Didn't realize this was a Prime thread.
Carry on. -
I think he just had it wrapped under the matress and never had any issues, thing stayed there, even in some gravel parking lots with huge pot holesDanfromwindsor Thanks this.

We did that in our Cascadia. Married team so we had a dorm fridge, 2 door with a real freezer on the top bunk and a microwave hanging under the bunk with a cargo strap around the whole thing. Worked great if you don't need the top bunk.Danfromwindsor Thanks this.
