APU's and Fairings....

That's a maybe. I know they put APU's on Swifts, and Central's Volvos. Ask the dealer installing, or planning to install. I would like to thank you, while you are probably doing it for fuel costs, it also helps the enviroment.

 

Most likely no, I see plenty of FL's with APUs and the fairings are still there, it really depends what brand you get: Tripac and proheat fit behind the fairing, as does a Rigmaster (barely), but a Blackrock probably won't fit (look at one and you'll know why, that is one BIG box).

Freightliner has their own as well (I think it's just a rebadged version of someone else's) sold under the Alliance brand name.

 

I am kinda leaning towards the rigmaster, because it puts out more useable wattage, and is seperate from the truck's systems. Of course, this means that you get a big heater/AC under your bunk, and when it's running, it isn't heating your coolant (which in winter ain't a great thing).

 

We had a rigmaster in our truck and it was very loud. I have read that rigmaster is one of the loudest generators on the market. Of course if you are pulling reefer the loudness may not bother you.
