A good sleeper cab aims to fit the key components of a kitchen, bedroom and living room into a space 1\/10th<\/sup> the size of a studio apartment. Over time, truck manufacturers have come up with a number of ingenious ways to increase driver comfort by maximizing storage space and interior design. Beyond layout differences, there are several factors that determine how comfortable your sleeper cab is: things like temperature, home appliances and electronic devices. But these usually run on stored electricity, and if your sleeper cab doesn\u2019t have enough power to run them, they’re next to useless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Without enough power, your A\/C, heater, electric blanket and even your sleep apnea machine can’t run. Without enough electricity, your coffee maker, fridge, microwave, or toaster oven may as well not be there. And how can you watch a movie or call home without enough juice to charge up your phone and laptop? But the power to run all these appliances has to come from somewhere! For drivers who don\u2019t want or can\u2019t have a noisy diesel generator running their APU, this means an electric APU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
