Adding electric compressor to run a/c while truck is off?

Because you can not pump through the trucks compressor.

This system by far is the best to use with a small generator. It has heat also for the cold months.

the a/c unit i once had only pulled 300 watts.

as for battery weight. i don't know wh y you all think they weight so much. 10 batts probably weight as much as an apu. or less.

as for the dc to ac conversion. most truckers have at least a 2000 watt invertor.

 

I dont care about the weight, if I can make a soundless battery system work, Im gunna try. If it doesnt work then generator is a sure bet.

 

Is any one actually using a mini split? I wonder how rugged they are

 

Click on that, he says his friend is using one.

Sure but, a generator is not light either.
