I use the Burton stoves, (I may add a crock pot to the cab). Works really well, can cook and heat just about anything you can put in it.
I shop at a supercenter about once a week, stocking the truck with groceries. Have an Igloo 12v cooler for keeping items cool. Both have worked well over the years.
As soon as you can get the Truckstop fuel bonus cards and start saving your fueling point. They can add up fast. Ive purchased everything I have in the truck with the points, from the cooler, stove, CB, etc...

 

I have a 1000 watt inverter (largest one Roehl allows) and a $40 microwave from Walmart. Pack cooler (12 volt) with boxed Weight Watchers, Lean Cuisine, Health Choice, etc for evening meals. Lunch consists usually of sandwiches, finger veges and some other munchies. Breakfast is the Jimmy Dean line of omlets, pancakes with sausage, egg/sausage bowls, pop tarts or oatmeal. Never go hungry.

we have a 1500 watt inverter (usx will let you have up to 1750).
we have a fridge http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...5DB&lpage=none having a real fridge means ice cream, milk that keeps for a few weeks, frozen food, and veggies.
1000 watt microwave, small forman grill, crockpot, gt xpress 101....? http://www.xpress101meal.com/?gcid=S...d=xpress%20101 this is the small one, we got a deal and have the big one for home and this one in the truck.

soladad thats a good list and we have most of it in the truck right now i'll just add cereal, canned soup, cup-o-noodles and walmart has precooked 1lb hambuger packs (like the new tuna package) that require no refrigeration. hamburger helper..... chicken helper... tuna helper..

southernpride the main thing is to wait until you have YOUR truck and to find out how big an inverter you can have... also remember that every time you change trucks you will need to move it all... we get a new truck every 9-10 months. and it's a pain but with what we have we can eat good food and stay out of the t/s.

 

How many days are these good in a cooler rather than being frozen?

 

If your truck is kep around 65-70 those coolers would keep thos for about a week safely I kept cottage cheese in my 40 qrt coleman for about 1 week I would go shopping around the 6-7th .

 

Huh water tases the same cold or warm Yep in 16 years of lifting weights i know I just love chugging down that nice tall glass of WARM water ... :wink:

 

As far as "EATING ON THE ROAD"???

Don't do it at all!! The road is filthy, and eating on it is very unsafe!!

 

I have to agree .

 

Subway, subway and even more subway. Sometimes the occasional "Pine Cone" type diner in a state that allows smoking inside. We can't do that here in california so it's nice after a long day on the road. I'm wierd, but whatever. :lol:

 

Used to do the plug-in coolers. Now just refill my ice chest daily with ice. I usually keep some milk, some soda, and perhaps some spreads for sandwiches...simple stuff. I keep cereal, bread, and as winter descends upon us, more non-perishable food on board. I still eat a hot breakfast a couple of times a week, and a hot supper about as often, depending upon what time I finish and where I am.

I do have one small mini-cooler that holds six cans of soda that I will plug in and keep next to the driver's seat, but I don't even use that all the time.
