The Trucker News magazine will have an article in the March issue with GMAN and myself who provided material on flatbed securement. GMAN from an experienced trucker and me as a new person.
The senior editor has asked me to post a message with a request for input from other drivers for an upcoming issue. If you have first hand experience with the following items please email the editor directly. Todd wrote: Another quick question for an Overdrive story: wondering if you or anyone you know has a fuel-fired heater in the cab such as the ones made by Espar and Webasto or has installed one of the group 31 battery-based APU systems? I'm looking for some real-world info on these for an upcoming story. Todd wrote: Also battery-based aux power systems (Doghouse)???? Todd's email address is. [email protected]

My system is out of reach for any driver who is concerned about weight. I'm sure he is talking about the Blue-Cool Webasto system,....not 600lbs of batteries run through a 3,000watt inverter, charged up by 250lbs of solar panels on my roof and the truck alternator.
