In case anyone is hot headed at night and doesn't know why.... all of the heat from the fridges cooling system vents right into your face! Thanks freightliner "engineers" who clearly failed engineering school lol

Trucks are designed by people who have never used one.

And paid for by people who don't know what they are. The cheaper the better.

The newer ones in our company have a taller Black+Decker fridge. Mine has already busted and it only has 15k on the entire truck for miles!!

Oof. That sucks. Ours will keep stuff cold, but the freezer is not cold enough to freeze anything lol

I had the smaller one like yours in my last truck. There is a knob you can turn to change the temp. setting. Mine was so cold that it froze everything at first.

Sleep with your head at the other end which is were the bunk controls are anyways and that off-heating from the fridge can keep your toes warm! Honestly though mine doesn't get that hot. The bigger design flaw is the small gap between the fridge cabinet and the bunk which is just large enough for a cellphone to fall down into and be irretrievable.

My feet are always burning hot. I need as much air on them as possible lol

Sounds like that could be a health issue. I would get that checked.
No, I am not meaning diabetes; it can be, but it can also be a lot of other things like a deficiency of vitamin B12, Hypothyroidism, Nerve compression, and even kidney issues.
I would see a doc about your feet always hot like that.

Sometimes they aren't hot, but when they get hot, it's almost unbearable and they have burn marks on them from getting so hot 😅
Tacnomitron@reddit
I would absolutely get that looked at. That can be a severe issue if it gets that bad. That is not normal at all.
tidyshark12@reddit (OP)
Crazy, i will definitely do that.
Tacnomitron@reddit
Hmm, that is odd haha. I would just take Vitamin B12 and see if it helps any. Could be something simple like that.
