As eating in your truck save's alot of $$$$$. Human contact and conversation is also important.Noboy can relie on a CB for talking.People also need (SHOWER'S) I eat out of my truck for breakfast & dinner.For supper i always eat at a truck stop. I save money doing this. but some times if you look at everything you gota do to prepair yourself for eating in your truck and what you gota buy/ carry and the time to make it in your truck eating out every nite seems to cost the same.

 

good luck with the walmart cooler. i've had terrible luck with just about everything i've bought from a walmart.

 

i went through 3 (Coleman) coolers in 2 years. won't ever buy another

 

Im using the Igloo 40 qt cooler right now. It works well. Once in awhile, you have to take the cover off of the motor area and clean out the dirt and dust. Motor is easy to change out if ever needed.

 

The top fan on my Coleman croaked after about a year, you can get a replacement fan for a reasonable price at Radio Shack, and that one has run fine for the past 2 years.

 

My biggest pet-peeve is drivers who wash their dishes in the rest-room sinks. Most of them don't bother cleaning the food residue from the sinks when they are done.

 

I can only imagine what some of these drivers' houses look like...if they HAVE houses, of course.
