Default idelair question

This past saturday was the first time i have ever used the Idelair. There was a football game on espn i had to see and i was running extra over the weekend. Do they all pump a/c into the cab that smells like an ashtray? I couldn't stand it. As soon as the game was over i unhooked it and moved to a place where i could idle my truck. The real pisser was, i had to go to the terminal and drop my trailers, then bob tail back to truckstop. The idelair rep said it was only nose in parking and no parking available for doubles. I guess it has it's advantages, but seems like a big hassle if you pull doubles all the time.

If you get one that smells like that, call the IdleAir people on the CB, they keep fabreze on their carts that take the smell right out of the system. Although the systems have a good filter, the smell still gets in there. It would not be practical to have a non-smoker section. I keep my own fabreze and air freshener in my truck.

As far as pulling doubles and Idleair, they are not at all set up for the double for the most part. Other than that is is a pretty good service.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is IdleAire? Newbie needs to know. Obviously it sounds as if it's supposed to suppress idling fumes or has to do with shutting down your motor. Thanks

I am not a fan of Idleaire, I know there have been a few posts about it. But I have a question regarding its use. (anyone out there with experience with them).

I pull into a T/S for my 10hr break. I pull into a parking slot serviced by Idleaire. I use there service for maybe 1-2hrs then shut off all there services, push the tube out the window close the curtains and go to sleep. Will Idleaire come around and request that I move my truck to a non-Idleaire spot???
