    I run a lil A/C in the summer time so I don’t idle all night. I have used it for a small heater also but haven’t been cold enough yet to make it worth it. So right now it is just adding 100+ pounds of weight lol, I have a lil Yamaha that is quiet also I can run the heater with if I decide to take this one off and it fits in my headache rack, I chain it to the same place the other one sits when parked.

    That makes sense. Figured it was something of the sort.

    What type of A/C do you use? I want to do the same but am having a little trouble pulling the trigger. I don’t want to get something that doesn’t work well.

    I tried one of the home style stand up ones. It worked but for the power they consume they are really not electrical;y efficient. Takes more power to get decent cooling. So I switched to a small 5k window unit and it works great. A bit redneck riviera but it is worth it. The plans are to put a rooftop unit on this thing soon.

    i was so upset I didn’t take my daughter with me to unload. I’ve done these jobs before that was about as close to the shore line I ever got though. Love it, always a adventure. Not always a good 1, most of the time it is though haha

    I’d like to agree with you, but I’d like to know why first.
