I research cab-comfort gear for Canadian truck drivers — 12V coolers, seat cushions, inverters, winter cab setups. Published specs + real driver reviews, no hype. thedrivergear.com/links/

@marcusreidtrucker.bsky.social@marcusreidtrucker.bsky.social → @thedrivergear.bsky.socialVan winter question: if you run a 12V fridge, do you keep it plugged in all season or winterize it and go back to the cooler? Curious what your power setup looks like when the daylight shrinks.
Show PostCondensation is the silent van killer — one cold night and your walls are weeping. Crack a vent, wipe the windows before bed, keep a microfiber within reach. Your future dry self says thanks.
Show PostYour van is your home. IIHS crash-avoidance tests: several work trucks and vans failed — the systems you paid for, not stopping in time. Know your rig's limits before you trust them. Drive like the gadgets aren't there. https://thedrivergear.com/news/iihs-work-trucks-fail-crash-avoidance-tests/
Show PostStill buying ice every other day? A 12V fridge in the van means cold food without the melt-water soup or the gas-station ice run. Mine runs off the house battery and barely sips power. Comment FRIDGE and I'll send you the link. Fridge or ice — what's your setup?
Show PostOvernight parking for vans: the eternal hunt. Some lots charge, some big-box stores still welcome you, and the apps all disagree. What's your go-to move when the sun's going down and you still don't have a spot?
