    Is it auto or stick? Do they still come with the top bunk removed?

    The fan on my TriPac Evolution runs continuous, the compressor turns on and off as needed but my fan is always blowing. I'm in a 2016 T680, maybe it's just how they are set up on a KW?

    Either way you will love that APU, mine turns on as soon as the engine is turned off. So if I go inside a truckstop for a few it keeps the cab from getting hot. Plus the big ol inverter is nice too!

    Thats what I wondered. Wonder if they do that to discourage riders.

    the best part of the midroof is it doesnt take as much to cool it down
    the KW condo the heat would get trapped in the ceiling I would have to open the lil windows up top to release it
    the midroof has the air cowling the sun beats on that and it doesn't seem to get as hot
    Barstow one night started at 110 last week and no trouble cooling
     
    HeWhoMustNotBeNamed Thanks this.

    Other than losing a shelf, I like the midroof XT.

    I'm out and back, not living in it for weeks on end, so the room isn't that big of a deal.

    Last condo I had was a Columbia that had been owned by Lessors, and it had the top bunk..
