Apu reviews

I would like to hear what you have. How long you have had it. Your rating of it and if you would get the same thing again thanks

 

As a company driver I have only ran carriers and TK over the past 5 years.

I liked the TK with fuel fired heat supplement better than this current carrier with electric heat. Plus the TK is much quieter. However from a truck owner and mechanic POV, they may feel differently

 

I've had a rigmaster. For 20 years it has a generator heat and ac.fairly reliable. Would I buy another absolutely yes ,this is my 4th

 

I bought a Dynasys gen 1 4.5 years ago. It worked pretty well for about 3 years, after that I couldn't keep it running anymore. Can't recommend them.

 

Tripac Evolution. Came with the truck. I wouldn't buy a truck without one since they cost $10 grand and the truck prices with are without are negligible.

Not very reliable but I love it. My problems were mostly before I replaced my 4 original chassis batteries. The heater (Espar D2) attached to it is amazing. Many people have trouble with them but I haven't.

Reliable or not (and a new one would be for a long time) an APU is a necessary expense if you are OTR.

 

Thermo king tri pac. Had it 4.5 years. It has over 12,000hrs on it. I definitely recommend it. Keeps batteries charged. I have espar bunk heater as well so I save fuel as much as I can. Keeps inside sleeper warm -15F no problem

 

What motor did that have? I've got the gen 2 with CAT motor, wouldnt leave home without it. Cools me in the hottest temperature and keeps me warm in the coldest temps.

 

im looking to buy an apu, i know this is an old thread but maybe yall could give some advice

 

Well KY Waldo, just read this. Mine has 2k on it and this gives me hope! 12,000 hours is a TON of use
