    We do the same. Big one for guests, little one for her and me.
    I guess folks are funny about their grilling, but for me, kettle grill and Kingsford pretty much does the deal.

    Got a raise and a bonus for sticking with my company for a little over a year. Feels good not being a constant job hopper.

    I think the battery operated HVAC system is called a epu right? That thing is the hotness. Made the truck super comfortable to sleep in, i’d almost ditch this volvo for a cascadia.

    Its why we have a porch with storm windows on it. If we must barbecue in the dead of winter? We are out of the wind and barbecue warms the porch. Tho we like @otterinthewater idea.

    But how long do they run in South Texas or Phoenix in the summer. Will they keep the truck at 68 degrees for 10 hours?

    Have a factory installed unit, made by Dometic in this International. It does good most of the time. When it starts hitting 117 degrees, it will struggle. I think that has more to do with the batteries. I need new ones.

    Yes, they are generally called an EPU. Know a few that have the Tripac-E unit. 2 are in T680’s and one in a Cascadia. They work very well. The T680’s have an auto start, so if the batteries get to low, it will start the truck. Don’t know if the Cascadia has that.
