Generator for the tractor

You make my day

 

JUst wondering how well that set up held up for ya. I really liked how you had it done

 

Just ordered the champion 4000 unit with remote and gona make a template for a window unit , all this idling I'm doin here in hot as hell Texas is nuts .
Had a smaller champion unit years ago that I ran synthetic oil in and flat wore it out before it had oil consumption issues .

 

My little Yamaha EF2000 and a window A/C works great for my needs. The Yamaha doesn't even have to operate at full RPM to cover the load. About 8 hrs on a gallon of gas. I made a custom frame for the window out of plywood and covered with reflective insulation that fits nice and snug and I use a $139 window A/C I got at Lowes. Not much more than $1000 for everything and no more than 100 lb total. Quieter than other trucks around me that use APU's. Their APU's sound almost like refer units in comparison to my little Yamaha EF2000.

Generator rides in box and when panels removed from sides, runs right in the box out of weather and secure.

 

I like that ! And thanks for the pics , I'm gonna stay out another couple weeks and go home and put it together .

 

I like cowpie's setup. And I am sure that Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White would approve also.

 

LMAO! Now I need a dog on the catwalk as a car alarm!

If it was the Tim Allen method, I would have a small nuclear reactor on the frame rail and a Binford 3 ton A/C unit behind the sleeper.

 

All I know is red neck apu or not I'm getting tired of running a 525 HP air conditioner .

 

I use the same champion unit with a room air conditioner. Just cut 2 6' holes in the floor of the sleeper. Get a dual hose unit if you can aford it. Mine is a single and struggles a little bit over 100deg. I already had it for 6 years now.

 

Gota retired driver friend from centerville ia that builds cabinets now gona build the plate for the window .
