Rooftop AC

Wow!
That installation looks excellent. Looks like it all came together just right. Your job looks professional to say the very least. I'm very impressed. If I didn't have the system I have, I'd be looking hard at your install.
Thanks for taking the time to take and post pictures. A lot of folks will benefit from this.

 

Thank you kind sir!
Time will tell how it works out, hopefully good after the hassle etc!

Forgot to mention, this is what me and my 15yr old boy used top get the ac unit on top of the roof.

As you can see, it is used to being near the truck......


Parked the Jeep next to the truck, lifted ac unit onto the roof, climbed on top, then lifted from the roof of the Jeep to the roof of the truck. Roof of Jeep is 6' off the ground BTW, so only @4' from there to the roof of the truck.

You're pretty handy with a set of spanners! Nice job

 

Thanks mate!
BTW, lived in Lytham St Annes before moving over here to the USA.

It would be easy to pinpoint the general whereabouts you come from with the overuse of the wore "mate" lol ( only jokin )

How do you like it over there? Are you there long? I'll bet you miss VOSA! or are checks as bad over there?

 

Truckin is a lot easier over here vs there. No tacho's for a start, and a LOT more open road to just set the cruise and go.
Been here since 1999, and not been back to Blighty since then (mate!)

dont pay that irishman any mind, we can get any scot to put a foot in his rear, lol.

 

Oi oi, let them try!! Oohh fighting talk! Hahaha

 

Well, the thermostat was kicking off the ac at @77 degrees, which is not good!
Spoke to the folks in the know, and they said it needs insulation and actual duct tape wherever there is a gap. so down it all came and did that. I also got a piece of 2'x2'x3/4" Birch plywood to put under it all on the inside, and some aluminum (aluminium for the paddy's and jocks) and made some deflectors. The interior panel is not the best design IMHO for a big rig. Not sure what the Coleman Roughneck one is like, but it can't be any worse in my book.
