    That's a Freightliner no-idle a/c unit. It's a battery powered climate control. Look at older Maverick's Cascadias or some of the older Crete Cascadias. Since it looks rusty, chances are it has a leak and needs a recharge. Freightliner can fix it...for a pretty penny.

    Yep. Freightliner put theirs in the back wall, International put theirs under the bunk and tied up a whole sidebox.
