The simple answer is, "Pretty much, yes"

Not to derail my thread but the long answer is really more of a list of things to consider about your plan...

(I assume your thinking about a gasoline generator since finding a small suitable diesel that is not uber expensive is all but impossible. )

1) If mounting the generator in a tool box make sure you can keep it cool and extremely important consider the exhaust.
2) Keep in mind that DOT requires that the end of any exhaust is NOT under the cab or sleeper. (As a side note, I plan to install a carbon monoxide monitor/alarm in my sleeper just to be safe and sure)
3) where/how are you going to carry fuel and where/how are you going to obtain that fuel?

You don't have to answer or discuss those issues here (I just posted them to give you something to think about) but I suppose your certainly welcome to if you like.!

Very nice and I was actually looking at a split system very much like that earlier today.

Now that you have jumped in...

Make and model? How long have you had it? How is it holding up?

And... How do you power your set up?

Make and model is your choice all are made from same parts from china.
I have this one for one year and had similar on other truck three years. Never was in FL in summer but southern TX can't imagine without my AC.
BTW only this is right way to cool entire sleeper evenly. With underbunk system your feet is cold but head is boiling.
Comfortable to sleep in about 2 minutes after start

Did you ever get your setup decided on and installed? I bought a sleeper truck that someone has completely removed the a/c air/heat system and am trying to find an affordable alternative. My sleeper is smaller but I live in south Texas and need a good a/c for summers.

I am going to be buying one of these Monday. The guy is in Corpus Christi, and that's about the best price I have found by about $300.
