Why isn't everyone using the bunk heaters by now?

I'm totally in agreement on this one. The best nights rest for me is in the middle of nowhere without the engine running. Since I enjoy sleeping in the cold and have plenty of warm blankets and comforters I leave the bunk heater turned off and the window by my head cracked open, then set my alarm to turn on the bunk heater about 10 minutes before crawling out of my cacoon.

I'll idle if temperatures are projected to drop below 20°F to keep the fuel from gelling or if it starts getting ungodly hot.

 

I'm with you in my heart, but with that said some drivers don't have APUs or bunk heaters. Their companies just don't put them in. Maybe in another few years this will change.

 

May be running a fridge and other electronics off the inverter and have to keep engine running so the batteries don't go flat.

 

Sheesh, the things people whine about! If you're gonna drive a truck, then grow up and learn to accept things as they are.
Frankly, I miss the old days when nobody ever shut off their truck for any reason.

 

Not everybody has a bunk heater or it doesn't work.

 

I sleep better when my engine is running, I like the sound and the gentle rocking.

 

I use my bunk heater-Espar

 

People who run their trucks in a quiet truck stop deserve what they get when they park next to me.

 

and what's that?
