Do you mean keeping your engine running while you sleep?

If so, wouldn't it be cheaper to rent a room? (And probably more environmentally friendly too) Or do you have to keep the engine running anyway to stop the diesel freezing? Or something?

sorry for the delay, I forgot about this thread.

Yes, I run the main engine while I sleep, for the heat/air cond as well as heating the fuel and keeping the oil warm and also keeping the batteries topped off.

I cannot afford to rent a hotel every night. I only make about $1000/wk. And I still have to eat.
