    Yes, its a home unit. Still pretty much the same thing most apu manufacturers install in slightly different layout and a drastic price markup. Carrier comfort pro to name one.

    Yes it's designed to use as a room AC up to 1200 sqft. I have to use similar on my old truck for three years.

    The diesel gen is ETQ I got couple years ago from local craiglist for $ 150 with 8 hours on the meter. This weekend will try (fishing and beer is always priority) to finish sound absorbing cover and fuel lift pump.
    Pics will post tomorrow with measure tape for reference

    Yup that's a mini split. I do refrigeration as a trade and pull my hopper at pickin time. They are great until they break. The compressor and outdoor fan motor run on DC voltage that's converted from a rectifier. If it's like all the others the rectifier board is 1500 or so. There should be about 2 to 3 different boards in just the outdoor unit. I wish they would outlaw those things lol

    Oh and make sure you do your proper maintenance on that unit especially drain on that indoor unit. Take a wet/dry vac and clean the drain out otherwise they will leak all over your bunk, mattress, etc...

    Drain water hose is outside for this but you have to consider parking area incline
