Not in my truck (nor work for prime) but I got a 12v lunchbox to replace my microwave, yes yes I know, slower but a microwave is big. French press coffee maker, coffee bean grinder, and a Cole man butane stove. Pretty much it, oh 12v cooler which sit on my passenger seat
darthanubis and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
You ever try roasting your own beans?
-
Never thought about it, is it easy to do? At this rate I might as well go south and pick my own coffee beans
-
I roast my own beans at home, but never have in a truck. I buy green beans from Dean's Beans and have a fairly high quality home roaster that allows me to vary the product, depending on what I want. I might have to figure out a way to transfer some of them to the truck since they lose quality relatively fast after roasting.

Must be the inside of a furniture hauler's rig...

Easy. I use an old air popcorn popper

The only thing really worth while is the coffee pot in a truck. The fridge is too tiny for anything of value for the amount of space it takes up, and especially for the hurt it puts on your batteries. About 95% of the shippers and receivers have a microwave you can use, and so does every truck stop.
Back when I was a company driver, I knew a guy that had a crock pot in his truck. He would slow cook an entire roast. He had an inverter, and would idle the truck for 8 hours to cook it. Potatoes, carrots, the whole nine.
The draw back from the coffee pot, is that I space it off now and then, start heading down the road, and the first decent bump, there is coffee everywhere. But I have a small grinder, and make fresh ground 8 O'clock coffee anywhere, and it is some of the best on the interstate.
I carry a mini barbeque. If I'm going to be posted up somewhere for the weekend I'll grill. That's kinda rare though, I stay moving. If I'm out for better than two weeks and I'm going to be posted up for a 34 or some other reason, I'll spend the coin for a motel room, it's very worth while to get out of the truck for a night or two, and sprawl out.
TV is a must. Try and stick with 12 volt set up, for your toys your trucks electrical system will thank you.
A company gave me a Cascadia about 4 years ago that was brand new ( 10 miles ) and it had a fridge. WORST interior EVER. I ended up taking the fridge out and installing my own custom bushings on its mountings as all it did was squeak like 19 mofo's going down the road.
If you have a shaker, burn it in effigy to the trucking Gods.darthanubis, sgtcole69 and DenaliDad Thank this.
