@lilillill Can you tell me about your set up with the generator? The generator is in the cab? Exhaust hose out the window? Pics?
I'm new at this & as much as data as possible will help.
No APU - A/C options??

Not trying to stick my hand in your wallet but how much is your fuel bonus? There are some good solutions out there like the one @lilillill has....that's slick. How much time would it take you to recoup the cost and time of sourcing, installing, and running a system like that with your fuel bonus? Now ya gotta add in the cost of gas and maintenance and the time that takes for the generator.

This setup by far, blows away the performance of an APU. The only crappy part is having to get gas when it's cold or rainy out.
I forgot to add in the cost of the pure sine wave inverter with pass-through shore power. It came with the truck but they are about $800.Trucker1972 and FlaSwampRat Thank this.
