Little Help Needed

{"text":"I've started with a new company and my truck is a little older. I have no inverter or APU. I want to ask what is the best low-cost solution for cooking food.  I'm not a fan of truck stops unless I need fuel or a shower but without the ability to cook food myself it's the only place I can stop if I want a hot meal.","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

{"replyTo":"","text":"That’s a good idea, brother. That is the fellow that said about camping stuff. It’s made to be tough and small and you need that in a truck. Been using my camp stove for 20 years. Last night I made fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp. Sure it was good too. If you’re looking for a refrigerator if you don’t have one go online and get these plug in the cigarette lighter refrigerators, but our real refrigerators they look like a cooler, but will cool down to 15° below zero. That way you can keep your stuff frozen that is steak shrimp. You can get those fridges on eBay or Amazon and they’re only a couple hundred bucks. Way better than that junk they sell at the truckstop that let your food go bad every time the temperature in the truck warms up. Good luck with it, brother.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"If you’re going for inverter look for the Renergy series. I have a 2k Watt inverter and it’s the best inverter I’ve ever had. 2 gauge wire will work perfect for the hookup. Comes with a on off switch to can relocate anywhere you’d like. And I just have an air fryer for my food. But looking into getting a blackstone to ride with me","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Small portable camping stove for sure with 3-4cans of butane on standby for when you meet up with trucker friends and y’all can have a cookout outside next to the rigs. If you plan on getting an inverter later, I suggest getting a PURE SINE WAVE inverter. Modified sine wave inverters are okay but dooky IMO but either one ALWAYS HAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING when using high wattage electronics like microwave/air fryer/shop vacs/etc","replyToPid":0}

","text":"And another good idea, definitely a pure sinewave inverter. Most of the ones you get in the truck stops aren’t and they’ll burn up your electronics. Remember pure sign wave. Good info for the guy there brother.","replyToPid":484000}

","text":"Make sure you don’t buy that looks like an electric skillet with a glass top on it. Those things the plugs aren’t very good and they burn up. Went through three of not gonna buy anymore. Most everything else will work. It just takes a long time to cook with it.","replyToPid":484040}
