    All I know is it's the hybrid APU system. The batteries are terrible, but it'll at least last you the night.

    Got that right. That's why plastic trucks hold their resale so well and are a zip tie manufacturer's dream.:biggrin_2559:

    Its an overly complicated system That is just asking for problems. A thirty dollar block heater is a much better solution. Plug it right into my generator.

    LOL, diesel bunk heater won't work at the altitude I live at reliably. They're great in Kansas, but up here, flame out. Sorry, I'll idle rather than freeze to death on those -30 nights. Of course, in that sort of cold, your little fuel line to that Espar is gonna gel up and that's just a poodle-load of fun, too.

    Block/coolent heaters dont need a pump to circulate the coolant. The natural characteristics of heating the coolant will make it flow from the hot spot to a cooler spot.

    which bird farm were ya on? Those catapults, and the ADJ's firing them up on the fantail made it hard for a feller to sleep, and then during rough seas the sloshing of the urinals in the head, onto the floor then jumping the thresh hold for the hatch then down the passage way, ya mean that?

    You probably wouldn't like being parked next to me then. Still running a Big Cam with mufflers, actually it's not noisy at all, at least not to me ;), but then again that engine running is better than counting sheep lol.
     
    Trucker61016 and Tall Mike Thank this.

    One time when I was running from engines in SD on my horse I fell off a cliff. I survived by gutting my horse then sleeping in the carcass to ride out a snow storm.
