I don't drive yet as I keep running into delays on the homefront. I think I'm looking at after the holidays at this point, if I get to go at all!

Not so convenient parking at night
I look at it as a matter of statistics. The odds of me getting attacked while in a truck should be about the same as my is of getting attacked while camping or traveling by myself otherwise. Since those odds never stopped me, I'm not going to let these odds stop me. That being said, I've read that there are ways to better secure your doors at night and I'm not going to walk entirely unarmed out by myself, but those arms will probably consist more of tools (you can do a lot of damage with a Crowbar or long screwdriver) than my handy dandy Glock or Bersa. I don't carry paper spray because I've had enough training on it to know all the ways it can go wrong. I always have a pocket knife and phone on me. Most people who would do anything are looking for easy targets. Keep aware of what's around you. Act like you shouldn't be messed with. If they have a gun, luck may have run out, but the odds would have been against me even if I did have my gun IF they're willing and able to use it, but I figure the odds of that aren't good.

Contact the companies you're interested in and ask them. Some might want notarized letters saying what you've been doing and consider that proof of employment.

What do you eat while on the road? Is it possible to pre-pack meals?
What is an APU or a 12v?
APU = power thingy that apparently converts DC (truck electric) to AC (like house electric) so you can use regular appliance.
12v = 12-volt, so things that plug into the doohickey formerly known as a cigarette lighter that is now where the car charger for the cell phone goes

Honestly, I generally go directly to the General Forums (as in, that's where my shortcut takes me) because there didn't seem to be much happening in here. Guess I better change that!

Handling your ladies time on the road...
Might I recommend having baby wipes and baggies on hand to take care of any mess?
I generally sleep with a red handtowel underneath my butt during the nights when mine is the heaviest so that my sheets don't get stained if I leak through.

What's all this X, Y and Z stuff? Are you using Algebra?
No, unfortunately my parents never gifted me with a very good descriptive ability. I meant Mini fridge, microwave, cool toys you put in the truck. And Holy Odin, I'm 24 and I barely made it half way through Sinnizters videos, how did a former school teacher?
He didn't teach English.
