A longer life for your APU
Quote:
With all of the anti-idling regs around the U.S. and Canada, it’s become painfully obvious that if you want to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter, key-off power is the only way to go.
If you were a holdout and are just now investing in idle-reduction technology, maintenance will be the key to making sure you’re not back at the APU dealer with needless repairs or, worse yet, needing a new unit.
Paying close attention to your newly installed APU system will help you avoid potential problems – and the rude awakenings that stem from them.
As many of us know by now, an APU is a great addition to almost any sleeper-equipped truck used in situations where a lot of overnight stays are involved. Of course, as with any truck or trailer that was just purchased, some areas should be monitored closely for a while to help catch minor problems before they potentially become more serious – and very costly. Having a manufacturer’s warranty on your APU may give you a little peace of mind, but it doesn’t change the fact that you might encounter some serious, costly downtime while waiting to get your unit repaired.
