London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/03/2010 -- Up until a few years ago, truck driving used to be a lonely, repetitive job. Recently, however, technological advances have meant that the price of in-cab entertainment has come down significantly.
Whether you are looking for a 12v TV to watch during your break, to mini ovens, to CB radios or even truck decorations and satellite navigation systems to help you get your destination more quickly, retailers are continually bringing more products to the table that can really enhance your driving experience.
There are many television options available to the trucker these days. Avtex, for example, are leaders in manufacturing TVs that run off both 12v and 24v, which can also run on mains power so you can even use them in the home.
They come in a range of sizes, from 18.5in right down to 8in versions that can be fitted straight into the cab. Avtex also produce digital antennae that give an excellent picture for the price.
If space is an issue, then Snooper have developed the Truckmate (http://www.capitaltrucking.co.uk/sat-navs), which is a satnav system which has been developed especially for truckers - simply add your vehicle weight and dimensions and it routes your journey for you given those dimensions - no more getting stuck down country lanes! Not only that, but the S7000 version of the Truckmate also includes a digital TV and aerial built in!
CB radios are synonymous with trucking, and the trucking radio community is stronger than ever. Their needs are well catered for, with a whole range of radios, to antennae, amps, microphones and associated accessories.
Even if you aren't looking to spend a great deal of money, you will find a whole host of products online. Truck kettles, ovens and truck decorations are all available, as well as practical items such as additional jerry cans.
Practical items are becoming an increasingly popular category, as the economic downturn has meant that any item that will enhance a driver's efficiency is continually in demand. Truck driving timers, as well as safety items such as in cab lighting and air horns are extremely popular.
