Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

Good idea. There is no breaker installed currently. Or if there is one, it is in an inaccessible location.

 

Good point. However, I need the inverter for my laptops as well.

 

So, I considered removing both existing inverters myself, and replacing them with an inverter, but Loves only had a 1000w continuous pure sine wave inverter.

I figured... 'Surely, Freightliner dealers will carry inverters of many ratings and output types, right?'

That's what I get for thinking.

Got to Freightliner Las Vegas. No inverters of any type in stock. They say it will take 4 days to get one if they order it.

...

After inspecting the current install, they will, however, do a unit swap if I can get a new-box unit to them.

But they close in 2 hours, at 1630.

Begin Scavenger Hunt.

Three hours later, after calling/visiting half a dozen auto electronics/audio shops, Fry's, Best Buy, and even Wal-Mart, I have nothing to show for it.

So... I get a Lyft to the North Las Vegas Loves and buy the same unit i decided not to buy the other day.

I will be delivering the unit and install kit to them this morning, then retreating to my hotel room to try to get some relaxation in on the rest of my 34.

 

I do not have that option any longer. However, if I need to replace this one, those are two very good ideas. Thank you.

Even better. The fun and confusion of yesterday made me forget to send in my weekly settlement.

It doesn't hurt me financially, I have several months living expenses available, but it is annoying to leave my money in someone else's hands longer than required. I'll send it in when I get back into the truck, and I'll get the money next settlement.

 

I like big paydays too, I just don't like forgetting to submit a settlement, allowing someone else to hold my money an extra week to make that next check bigger.
