My current boss won't pay for an APU and the truck's A/C sucks. I'm quitting as soon as another local company hires me (COVID has pretty much created a hiring freeze locally). But for now I'm miserable. In a few more days I'll demand no overnight routes. Going down the road with terrible A/C doesn't bother me so much. But I can't sleep in the heat. My boss will pay for a motel (3-4 times a week, but he won't buy an APU, I can't understand his economics). But the motel is almost always a hassle that can add 2 hours to my day (or subtract 2 hours of sleep). And the motel doesn't always guarantee decent A/C (the ones he will pay for). It occurs to me that I could run an insulated tube from the top front vent on the reefer into the sleeper. A small fan and varible valve on the cab end would be easy enough to rig. Sealing the vent side of the tube is a must of course. Really though, anything I rig will be an improvment; frost always forms arround these leaky vents on this companies' trailers.
Can anyone tell me why this is not possible? Is it legal? Is reefer air dangerous to breath?
Cool my cab from the reefer?
