What fun it is to sit and sleep in a hot truck in the middle of the night. Another alternative is to buy screens that go in where the door windows are. Roll the window down and install the screens. When your ready to move out, remove the screens.

I've heard of "a submarine with a screen door" but never a truck.

Didn't that one sink when they opened the door?

Yeah the air quality problems are all because of the tens of thousands of trucks idling in CA. It has nothing to do with the millions of cars, pickups and suv's that run there every day.

We used the window screens...and they were adequate..but a word of warning...be careful where you park...not so much for safety, tho that is a huge factor. Trucks that carry vehicles, and a few others, have "weed burner" exhausts...they blow their exhaust down, rather than thru stacks. It will fill your cab with carbon monoxide if you aren't careful..It nearly killed us when a parking lot parked next to us, and ran his truck to keep cool.

Now that JUST the kind of twisted logic the bureaucrats in California abhor. What, were you some kind of "radical" in school? How dare you question the decisions of your political overlords! That kind of thinking will be met at the border where you will be asked to return to whatever backwater state you originated in . . . sounds like a Texan to me . . . or some other LOSER southern state (they DID lose the war, you know . . . )

If trucking doesn't work out maybe you could work on one of the 100's of Jerry Brown campaigns.

I was thinking that "The Improv" or "Laugh Factory" may have a few slots open on open mic night. How 'bout it Jopa? You haven't started school yet, have you?rofl-3.gif
