They have been selling the smarter tools for at least a year now. Haven't seen one in use.

The powerhouse has been around awhile I have seen a couple on vans. For some reason I think I heard dometic designed them. You can get them at some of the discount rv supplier places online.

I think it would be much better if the truckstops were offering a power outlet for each parked truck or van. I wouldn't mind to pay, let's say ten bucks a day for heating my truck. This way the idling might be reduced practically to zero, considering the money one throws away for the fuel burned just to keep cool/warm inside his truck...

We are lucky if a truck stop is found that even allows vans overnight parking. Things are changing quickly out here.

Stay safe

Love's supposedly doesn't...

I did a quick drive through the Love's in Vandalia, Ohio today, and saw several XPO vans parked there, in front. Oh, and one Nations Express, too. Funny, I don't usually pay any attention to the front lot, but I wanted to get in & out quick, so I cut through the front. ;)

Love's has signs that say 2hr parking but as long as you ask the manager inside then you usually don't have problems.

I stopped even trying loves after being asked to leave three different ones. They have not got my business in two or three years because of it, maybe they have changed.

I think the only place I was ever kicked out of was a Lowe's somewhere in GA. Or KY. Or somewhere. But stayed at plenty of Lowe's and preferred them.
Quiet.
