More questions about electric gadgets...

I think that there are 3 electric plug ins inside the truck- one is up inside the TV cubby. Two below the bunk. The Roadpro cooker works fine for me, just plug it in- doesn't use much power at all. I will sit in my truck when done for the day and have my laptop plugged in for power/charging while I am using it, have the TV on sometimes, and be charging up my cell phone too all at the same time. In fact, doing that right now as I type this. AND, I have the AC blowing nice cool air on me too. If I was parked at a R'A or consignee or something, I would've also have just gotten done with my microwaved dinner. She'll start right up in the morning too after I brew me some coffee.... Just don't leave everything on all night long or anything.

 

oh and I think there are three 12v plug ins too

 

or you could go over to the Liar's and One-uppers Lounge, err, I mean Driver's Lounge.... LOL

 

There are numerous plugs in the truck, here's what mine has:

Up front, there are two 12V plugs on the dash. In one of these plugs I have a 4 way splitter plugged in which gives me a total of 4 plus plus one USB connection. The other one I don't keep anything in, it's just there for plugging in anything I might need.

In the back:

There are 4 110v plugs, two at the bottom of the bunk and two in the cubby where the TV goes. There is one 12v plug next to your head where the climate controls are, and two more at the bottom of the bunk next to the 110v plugs. There is one 12v plug on the bottom shelf of the cabinet under the tv cubby which is designed for coolers. This plug is the only one that hasn't melted a cooler plug, the others overheat it and the plug on the cooler cord melts. There is a fridge you can buy that fits into the cabinet there perfectly, if you're willing to spend about $600 on it. Otherwise, I'd recommend a regular dorm fridge with a 110v plug unless you're like me and want a cooler up front to be within reach while you're driving.

In my truck, I have a 24 inch TV, Blu ray player, extra speakers, a microwave, and a gaming laptop power block all plugged into a power strip, which is plugged into one of the 110v outlets. I can run everything at once with the truck running, or turn the microwave and laptop off and everything else runs fine on the batteries, which last right about 10 hours. If I'm running the laptop, the batts last about 7 hours since it draws so much power. But I don't use it most of the time since I got my ipad.

A few other recommendations:

1. Contrary to what other drivers may tell you, DO NOT remove your passenger seat. The guys in the shop said that Maverick is about to start cracking down on that (this was a couple weeks ago) and those that removed them will be told to put them back. You can, however, unbolt it and move it forward, bolting it back down on only the front holes, giving you a lot of extra space behind the seat.

2. I have one of those truck bed cargo bars stretched across the foot of the bunk. I hang my clothes and TV on this rod, so the clothing cabinet gives me lots more storage space.

3. In the cabinet space where a fridge would normally go, since I don't have one, I custom cut some wood to make an extra shelf there that sits on the little plastic feet, so I have even more storage space.

4. I replaced the factory mattress because it sucks. By using a regular twin size mattress, this gave me about 14 inches of extra space at the end of the bunk for yet more storage.

5. If you get a bungee cord and stretch it between the two storage spots above your head that have the nets, you can slip a roll of paper towels on there , which will be right in front of a slightly below the big hole in the center of the truck. Instant paper towel rack.

6. If you have anything you want to mount with suction cups, like a GPS, satellite radio, dash camera, etc., check out Amazon.com for suction cup discs via the link below. These will stick to the dash firmly, and can be removed without damaging the dash itself. They will only stick once, so watch where you place them, but the fewer things you have on your windshield the better, since DOT can write you a ticket for an obstructed view if you have too much on there.

If you'd like any more info, or I can take photos of the things I mentioned above, feel free to ask. Just remember that doing it the way I've done it will give you lots of storage, but watch your weight, you still have to stay under 12,000 on your steer tires so you don't want too much junk in the truck.

 

Hey Tim post some pics I would like to see your setup.

 

Here ya go. It's not really pretty but it gets the job done lol.
