    Any problems with power draw? I think I'm drawing a bit much on mine already. My other stuff, I mean. I haven't gotten a cooler yet.

    I don't know about a Peterbilt, but in my Freightliner and now my Prostar I strap it to the passenger seat, standing upright. I took the bottom seat cushion off on the Freightliner and flip the bottom seat up on the Prostar. That way I could still see my mirrors and easily open it while driving and grab something.

    On the floor, between the seats....Easy to move, slides easy, and you can grab your soda while cruising through Chi town at 5 pm on a Friday afternoon. Yuk, Yuk. But watch out parked over the w/e, they can drain your batteries.

    I plug mine in in the sleeper, which will cut power to it once the batteries hit a certain amount, keeps the thing from killing the battery.

    As far as where, the KW T2 has a compartment for a fridge and I just lay it on it's back and slide it in there with the fan facing out, works just fine.

    Peterbilt 379 and KW w900l the cooleman will fit in the side closets. I hade mine there in 3 different trucks and worked good. Always left the fan on the outside and never had a problem, other than the 2000 pete 379 i drove, i did have the coleman plugged in the sleeper over night with the truck off and it ran the batteries dead. Oops, had to get a jump the next morning from another driver that had a pair of cables.
