AS far as gasoline, he is referring to the smell of gasoline and carbon monoxide that will build up in your box truck when you are driving it and none the less from the generator you are planning on using. What ventilation does this truck provide? Do you know how quickly fumes will seep inside the box truck, especially via the door?

There's something to add to your list, make sure it has a carbon monoxide detector.

Yeah... I suffer from arthritis... and I have a hard time breathing when I sleep... That in no way says that I'm a physical weakling...

I physically cannot sit at the wheel of a truck and trailer for 8-10 hours a day.

And I'm no dummy... Why would carbon monoxide or any other fumes build up inside the truck from the generator? Do you really think I would run one of those inside the truck? If so, then you take me for not only a fool, but you are questioning my intelligence.

As calewjohnson mentioned, exhaust from a generator can seep inside your truck or RV if there is any way for it to make entry. A simple wind shift will do you in. There are hundreds of news articles out there where people passed away in their motorhomes and trailers due to improper venting and other reasons. You don't have to run it from inside the truck. You can run it from outside the truck (which by the way will not be stealthlike) and the fumes will find their way in. We are just trying to keep you from being a statistic. Go ahead, google "rv generator death".

As for Mr. Fed, The problem with people that think the way you do is that you assume people are doing something wrong when in fact they aren't. Learn to use facts not assumptions. The fact that a truck is parked at a truck stop or in the parking lot of a college does not equal wrong doing. But what am I saying? I obviously don't know anything at all about anything as may people here have stated. so how bout this idea. If you have nothing what so ever constructive to say then ignore this thread and move on.

I'm just speaking from over 25 years of law enforcement experience. I'm also speaking from the intel I received on a frequent basis that is not put out in the news. Nevermind me. It 's not necessarily Law Enforcement or "Mr Fed" you have to initially worry about. It's the concerned citizens of this conutry you need to worry about.
