    i would opt for a 4000 watt genny min for better fuel economy and so it won't be stressing out to run it. another option i seen drivers do is cut a hole in the back of the sleeper and drop a window unit in it.

    That split unit could be plumbed in neatly for a few extra greenbacks and you could put a scotchguarded canvas cover over it while in transit keep it clean . Would look professional and would be more secure .

    i think i'm going the window unit route. if it breaks who cares junk it buy a new one and move on vs spending thousands and having the mini split break because of things like pot holes and so on.

    We installed a 12v DC mini split on our 1997 Volvo at work. Popped a couple of holes in the sleeper for the line set and drain and were done. It worked and looked professionally installed when we were finished, but I don't see it lasting due to vibration. Unfortunately I'll never know for sure, because about a month after we installed it Texas sent that truck to auction.

    It was a nice couple of weeks though.
