    Inverters are also easily added after a truck is purchased. We do most of the installs in house rather then from factory.

    Get the shore power, you can always swap out the inverter. Shore power is a nice feature, with or without the inverter. As far as an APU, go with a ThermoKing unit. These new trucks do not like to be idled, the soot kills the motor in short order.

    No way! No shore power on a Pete? Find another dealer.

    Correct. Only the 78" sleeper .. I'm being told... they said If i go smaller(72") they will give a factory inverter and you can option shore power.

    They also won't give me a rear window! Grrrrrrr !

    Dealer has fought with Pete over this, I'm guessing it's a new thing they don't offer it on the 78" ??

    This is so frustrating, i don't see how it's right that the biggest sleeper they offer has the least options.... WTH
