APUs- Electric vs. diesel

I would take it off if i need to service it. But when i have webasto, more concerns are built.

 

well don't get a tripac, get a dynasys and you wont have a webasto

 

It was already in the truck.

 

Get a TriPac, it's absolutely the best out there. I can't speak for the electric TriPacs but the diesel ones are great. Very reliable, and quiet too. So you won't have somebody out bashing your APU with a sledge hammer in the middle of the night because it's too loud like Rigmasters and Power Cubes.

 

How much do the electric APU's run. Was wandering if the small honda 100 gen would keep the batteries charged? I run a Honde eu3000 now with an lg AC. Works well but takes up a lot of space in the sleeper. 63" flat top. And I refuse to mount an rv AC on top of my flat top.

 

Dometic does make an under the bunk A/C unit, had them in my 75" aerocabs.

 

I have a question about my 2003 volvo vnl, my cluster showing low voltage 11.8 - 12.2, while my brand new alternator and batteries showing 14.2, in the mean time I have a little digital reader that reads my voltage out of a ciggarette lighter, its giving me 14.2 on idle and 12.9 with key on, can anyone please help me with this issue, why is my dash giving me 11.8 - 12.2 on idle when my actual voltage is 14.2

Thanks.
Tony

 

you will probably get more answers if you go down to the Garage and ask this in trucks section.

 

I would like to know what was the power source for that under bunk A/C unit?

 

Four deep cycle 12 volt batteries, gel filled.
