I have a Road Pro, mine has lasted 2 months with a LOT of use. I looked at all three and they basically look like they are made by the same manufacturer and just branded with the brand names.
One trucker I saw buying one said that his goes out about every 4 or 5 months. He saves his Love's Fuel Appreciation card to replace it with each time and never is actually out of pocket money to replace it.

It seems like anything "branded" Roadpro is cheaply made and in no-way designed for the harsh trucking environment. My Lunchbox stove lasted exactly 2 months. I could not find the electrical break in the connection. Fuse and cord were OK.
Not to deviate the discussion ... but the last straw for me was to purchase Roadpro Correction Fluid. You would think the could just re-label some product already out there .. but no .. this stuff was awful. Mostly liquid and very little of the white stuff. As soon as I tried to apply it it ran all over my log book.
Roadpro Vacuum cleaner .. 1 month .. stopped working
Road Pro Lunch Box -- 2 months stopped heating
Road Pro wallet .. 1 month zipper broke
Road Pro calculator -- 1 month screen stopped working.
You get the picture
Dirt Devil .. still working
Braun stove still working
Swiss Army wallet .. still intact
Casio calculator .. still working
