I hate the new Tripac with three knobs in the sleeper. It sounds like a warzone next to your ear. Reefer is quiter than new tripac. Currently I have the older one and its much better

Why ya wanna be hating on the liberals? Lol

I heard some trucks where the APU was louder than the truck. My only question is if people knock on your door to leave because of the noise
-
I wouldnt worry about it. But i did have a guy dump his pee bottle on my hood before he left cause my reefer woke him up. I was asleep when he did the cowardly deed.Dharok, motocross25 and Pacific Islander Thank this.

My truck has a Comfort Pro APU, and I have parked next too many trucks with Tripac APU's. I am always amazed at how quiet those Tripac APU's are.
For comparison, my Comfort Pro is about 5x louder than any Tripac APU I have ever heard. Heck, it's even louder than the reefer, and yes a few times at a few walmarts i have been to, i have had to just idle the truck instead of run the APU, as one can literally feel the Jurassic Park vibrations emanate once i run that beast of an APU.
I have already decided that once I buy my truck i will be getting a Tripac as well.
All that said, I would run aTripac APU anywhere as they are so quiet. It's shocking how much noise difference there is in different APU's.Dharok, rocknroll81 and OOwannaBE Thank this. -
There were times I found an abandoned building in New York and parked there with no problem or complaints. The second I idled my engine to recharge batteries a security guard ran up and told me to leave due to engine noise of my brand new truck which is as quiet as a car.KB3MMX Thanks this.

Even the rig masters are quiter than a truck on high idle with the fan running to keep the ac cool

I plan to open mine up when I get around to buying it and use Dynamat insulation to deaden the sound even more. When I was 16 I dynamated my whole car interior I could no longer hear any road noise it was soundproof.Last edited: Aug 11, 2016

I've definitely had to idle sometimes because other idling trucks were making too much noise for me to sleep through.12 ga, KB3MMX and Pacific Islander Thank this.
