Sleeping in truck in winter

Then theres humidity. I can sleep in arizona at 70 degrees a lot easier than i can sleep in georgia at 60 degrees....

 

I very rarely ever idled my trucks because I have to pay for the fuel and I am to cheap to waste money on idleing, in the winter even when it was -10 C I would just pile on a sleeping bag and a few blankets and would sleep just fine. some mornings I would wake up and it would be - 25 and I was quite warm under my blankets. the only time I would idle is when it got below -20 C at night only because the truck might not start in the morning.

The cold weather doesn't bother me one bit, I'm used to it, it was always the hot, humid weather that bothered me. I used to run the southern states for years, and I never got used to the heat and humidity down there, most times I would just open up the vents and the windows and hope for a breeze, every once in a while I would run the truck for a bit to cool it down. I was always to cheap to spend money on a hotel room for a night, only if I was laid over somewhere for more than a day I would get a room.

 

The humidity is what always kicks my arse.

Errk... barf! Did you have to post that???

I love my TriPak - cool in the summer, warm in the winter.

Here's a tip... it's all about insulation. If you don't have the factory kind, get a curtain that goes across the windshield, and pull the sleeper curtains. That chunk of air in the cab makes a great insulator when its cold.

 

When it's hot too.....

 

Not all big companies are like that. Mine is great about repairing ANYTHING that needs repairs, quickly. this includes APUs.

I don't know what carriers you have, but mine has never broken.

Mine is mounted below the deck. It doesn't affect any backing. Perhaps yours should be (have been?) mounted differently.

My APU has been great, and to add another benefit, it comes with a 1500w inverter. Keeps my refer working fine, runs my micro and keeps the engine warm in the winter. And for summer? Great AC!

 

I have had a rigmaster, that was nice. 2 nite systems, sucked BIG TIME (warm in winter, a/c doesnt keep up at all in summer), now i have a KW clean power, basically a shore power hook up and gel packs for a/c. I am broke down in Mobile, Al because of that blasted thing. If i had a choice, i would have a carrier put it on. But since i drive a company truck, i has no choice.

 

Who do you work for ????
