Not an owner op but drive a tractor with the Canadian made Rigmaster, sold and serviced by TK.
Unit has less than 3000 hours and didn't work most of the winter, my big objection is the noise, my company has probably 15 of the things and my unit is noisier than any of the others. I was parked next to a Roehl flatbed at the Perrysburg, OH FJ and he moved up to the handicapped place to get away from the noise, it was the same truck.

I am a company driver so I am not sure of the price. The company I drive for uses Rigmaster exclusevly. They are rather noisey but I have heard that Rimaster has come out with a new muffler that greatly reduces the noise. The only other difference that I have found is that Rigmaster is a self contained unit and it supplies 110 v AC using a generator not like the others where you have to run inverters to have the 110 power.
I might be mistaken on that but that is what I have heard. I do know that if I do buy or lease a truck some day I would have some kind of APU. I love it. Even Rigmaster has fixed a lot of the problems it had in the past with overheating in summer and not heating in the winter. I used to say that anything above 90 or below 10 forget it, idle the truck cause it wont do any good to run that piece of junk. -
