Winter Nights (how to keep warm)

A 12 Volt blanket will pull from the trucks Batteries, and might drain them over a short period of time, if he's not running the truck. If he's running the truck, then it's not a big deal. And a thick blanket isn't a big deal. Some drivers have a real good down blanket or comforter. Or just check out your local camping supply place, and get a good down sleeping bag.

 

I have a good sleeping bag and a heavy blanket that I put over the sleeping bag. I also have another smaller blanket that I cover the top of my head (I'm kind of bald) and my shoulders leaving only my nose uncovered. I can manage down to about 32 F but if it gets too cold I have to start the truck. Anything that uses the battery will run it down and that can be an unhappy experience.

 

A good sleeping bag that is good to like 20 below zero something real heavy duty and he should be good

 

definately a good sleeping bag and some heavy blankets...best bet

 

Wool blanket

 

One of those fleece throw blankets too. Great for warming up quick under the covers. I use them at home when it's cold, as I get cold very easily. Those fleece throw blankets really help me out!

 

Long drawers. warm socks. A few blankets.
Heck he is only running the S.E. It's not like he will be in Green Bay. Or international Falls Mn.

 

I have been using an APU for the past few years, but for those without and who don't want to run the truck unless the temperatures are dangerously low, I recommend a very good comforter on the bed. I have one that is very light weight but will roast you out unless it is really cold. Purchased at Wal Mart for very little.

 

Agree. And maybe a heavy sweat jacket with a hood.
