So I got a new truck the other day. In some ways it is an upgrade on my previous one, which is nice. Overall though?
MASSIVE. DOWNGRADE.
Lemme give you a rather pertinent example from last night. My old truck had essentially a separate generator that could be run independently from the main engine. This generator could provide power, heat, and AC to the sleeper berth, and could be run at any temperature.
This newer truck has no such generator. Its engine can idle all night long, providing much the same functions...but ONLY when the ambient temperature is outside a certain range. Which is why last night I was shivering in below-freezing temps that were still inside the range the engine was not allowed to idle, and thus provide heat.
So yeah. This truck sucks.
