    Cooking with 12 volts

    I do not have an APU. If I'm cooking and watching TV for more than a couple hours, I might have to idle the truck for a short time. Trucks have a system called Low Voltage Disconnect. When the battery voltage drops to a certain level, nonessential circuits are shut down. An alarm beeps just...

    Cooking with 12 volts

    They have a 15 amp fuse built in to each oven. 18 wheelers have numerous sockets that can handle the load. If you don't have enough sockets, you can run 2 AWG cable directly to your battery. This is overkill just a bit but I believe in overkill when it comes to that stuff. Put a 45 amp fuse...

    Greetings

    I drive a 2012 Freightliner Cascadia and I pull a dry van. I run all 48 but rarely go west of I-35. There's nothing special about the Cascadia do I don't have many pictures. I might have one somewhere. It's nothing like an extended hood Pete.

    Cooking with 12 volts

    I'm a truck driver so I live similarly to you RV and van dwellers. Although I'm an owner/operator and have a 1500w inverter, I cook exclusively with my 12 volt oven. I've figured out how to cook some tasty meals in my little oven. It's a RoadPro and I call it my lunch box cooker because it...

    Greetings

    Hello all. I don't have an RV, yet, but I'm sure I have something to contribute here. I was doing a search about cooking and a thread on this site came up in the search results. I'm a truck driver so I know quite a bit about cooking on the road. The cooking section is where I'll be posting most.
