    Which APU would you say would do a better job keeping the inside of a black mid roof 379 in Texas / Louisiana cold during the day? Themo or Dyna?

    Velcro screens for the windows for when I want to sleep with the windows down and not get devoured by bugs. The new Alpine sound system is a close second

    My KW has a diesel APU with a big inverter and fridge/freezer. Now that I have that combination, don't think I could do without. The diesel apu is 1000x better than the battery versions.

    TK is more efficient, however, my Dyna did just fine keepin my 379 stand up cool in the TX heat last summer. If price point is an issue, can get Dyna new, installed out the door under $10,000 at Boomer Diesel in OK City vs. close to $15,000 for TK. You can buy TK used direct, for around $6500.
