I never would pay $10+ thousand for an apu. You got the right idea. I'd probably splurge for a heavy duty ac that's rated for a rv just for the vibrations over time.

@77petesgarage 2 года назад

I disconnect from my reefer, when possible. Put landing gear down, pull forward about 2ft. Helps cool my truck better and helps with sleep

@Thetruthalwayshurts 2 года назад

Get you a Igan generator cover for rain and snow. I did realize moving my ac like the way you have it cooled the sleeper down way more, I had mine behind my driver seat and the little part of the vent hose in the back did make it harder to cool down.

I have the Is same kind of A/C a 9500 what Predator generator from Harbor freight I found that venting the tube out the window was creating too much heat For the AC to keep up with So I cut a hole in my floor in the bunk and then it out that way that way and just cover the hole in the wind And you sunshades it works great And I tell everybody that has a Generator thay need a carbon monoxide detector Just for safety reasons just in case exhaust gets in the cab I did have that problem but fixed now

@JohnnyJPatt 2 года назад

I literally just bought one of those last night. I’m going to hook it up to my gas generator I will run outside the truck. This company I work for has no problem letting you fry to save money on fuel. They have an optimized idle option where sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Finally I got sick of it, bought the generator and now this.

@sicsempertyrannis4104 2 года назад

Those residential ac units compressors just aren’t built for mobile applications. The liquid coolant inside gets shaken up into a gas. Takes a hour or so after the ac (compressor) stops moving for the gases to settle back into a liquid

@CashisKingtrucking 2 года назад

I don't know. I've known people that have ran these in trucks for years with no problems.

Get the ac with dual hoses coming out the back. They are 10x more efficient.

@andrewkellerhals1361 2 года назад

You can also retrofit a hose to the return, works about the same

@CashisKingtrucking 2 года назад

I don't know how much more efficient it needs to be honestly. It freezes me out and only pulls about 500 w average

@oceanairbrush 2 года назад

@@CashisKingtrucking more efficiency means less fuel

@CashisKingtrucking 2 года назад

I'm assuming that second hose is for return air? I use the cool air in the sleeper for the return. Way more efficient than pulling hot air from outside. The way I do it it's like having the recirculator on on your car AC. No need to pull hot air from outside.

@therhetoricalman8936 Год назад

@@CashisKingtrucking you basically have the front and back half of a window unit inside the truck. The front side pulling inside air through is like a car ac on recirculate. But the back half of the system is exhausting through the window. Some have 2 window hoses for the backside of the system. I had a single hose portable like this in my truck and is just made a vacuum and pulled hot air in from outside. Maybe your curtains are separating it enough to work right. Mine was terrible.
