I used to do local truck driving. Recently I decided to take an OTR trucking job. I was ready for a change of scenery, but didn’t want to actually move. I figure this is the best solution for me. I realized that I would basically be living in my truck. What I didn’t take into consideration was the different climates I would be driving through. I’m from the south; born and raised in L.A. (that’s Lower Alabama). The weather is pretty nice all year round. It can get a little chilly during the winter months, but normally only at night. For one of my first long hauls I traveled north to Massachusetts towards the end of November. I knew it would be cold, I just didn’t realize how cold. I figured it was only the beginning of winter, how cold could it be?

My husband and I love to travel, but having three children and a dog, hotels are out of the question. We recently bought a tent because we found a lot of campgrounds will allow you to have pets if they are friendly and on a leash. When we went on our first big camping trip of the summer we realized how unprepared we were. We never even considered laundry supplies because the trip was only for a week, but somehow the kids managed to run out of clothes. We didn’t have enough towels for bathing and swimming in the lake. We didn’t take shower shoes for using the public shower. I felt like this was our first time ever leaving the house. We didn’t even consider taking travel blankets instead of our regular blankets, so when we got home I had to wash all of our blankets for us to be able to go to sleep. The trip was a real eye opener.

I ordered a 1500 watt power inverter from 12 Volt Travel on Saturday and got it today (Tues day) from UPS.... It's a very heavy duty unit and works great !!
I've already tested it out with a couple of lamps and a power drill, and it works fine with no sweat !! |

Whether traveling for pleasure or work, everyone likes to have the conveniences of home with them. There are a lot of 12 volt appliances available to make life on the open road easier. From portable coffee makers to portable sandwich makers, whipping up a homemade meal is easy. With all these available accessories all you need is a place to store the food. 12 volt refrigerators are the answer. They come in a wide range of brands and sizes, but most operate under one of two methods. There is the Engel brand, which features the patented “swing pump”, and the thermoelectric cooler, which uses the Peltier effect for cooling.

My wife and I have always liked to travel. Sometimes we would pack a tent, other times we would rent a hotel room. Hotel rooms can be pretty expensive, especially if you’re traveling to a specific concert or event. Tents are convenient because they are very portable and campsites are relatively cheap. The only problem with a tent is the weather. Now we wouldn’t plan trips on weekends that we knew the weather was going to be bad, but the weather is so unpredictable. One day I was flipping through the classified section of my local newspaper and I found an old R.V. for sale. My wife liked the idea of
