In this video I did something a little different: winter truck camping at a Love’s truck stop. I checked in for an RV hookup spot (even though I’m not an RV), got shore power turned on, and ran an extension cord up into the truck so I could heat the backseat setup. With it well below freezing outside (down around 22°F with a “feels like” of 14°F), I put a little portable heater to work, kicked on an electric blanket, and turned the truck into what I can only call luxury camping—Wi‑Fi, power, and a warm place for Fiona to curl up. I also talked about how to do this the right way. I reached out to a truck driver buddy and shared five things folks need to know: don’t take semi parking, park where you’re supposed to (and ask the manager if you’re unsure), leave truckers alone so they can eat and sleep, be considerate inside the store, and be careful with the dog park—vaccinations, rules, and cleaning up matter. We grabbed supper, streamed a movie, and I’ll be honest: outside of it being a little loud (it’s a truck stop), we slept great. It felt safe, the staff was kind, and for this kind of cold-weather night, the hookups were worth it to me.
