    With this cold weather I've been waking up with ice on the inside of my wind shield some on the driver and passenger side door. So, what's the secret for this not to happen lol

    STOP BREATHING when you sleep , your building up the HUMIDITY LEVEL inside the truck hits the cold glass condenses to water then freezes

    Think that's bad, Drive a truck like I did years ago. No bunk heater in that old cabover Mack.
    No padding or liner in the bunk either. Just straight metal. You wake up and can write your name on the frost inside the bunk

    Does rainX anti-fog help? If you're running a bunk heater but keeping the curtain fully closed to contain the heat on really cold nights, you might try opening the bottom of the curtain slightly and pointing the nozzle to where a little heat will make it into the ####pit area and keep it at least just above freezing.

    Hi RogerThat, open a window a little bit. I know when it was really cold and I'd be yakking on the CB radio, the drivers side window would fog up, but I'm sure that was all that hot air going into the mike.

    Crack the window open to equalize the air pressure.
