    What kind of truck? I saw where a guy mounted the inside unit on the front part of the sleeper above the opening. It was real slick and if I have enough room height wise, thats where I'm putting it.

    usually reads hotter when the battery is dead

    had to put sweat pants on and grab an extra blanket so I’d say it was close

    love my hondas got the first 7000 watt they put out nice and quiet and can run the whole house no issues. have the new 3200i with the bluetooth i like it it gives you info like watts used and oil life and run time hours left. and you ca reset the co minder when it trips unlike some wich become door stops

    Pretty sure it’s 10k, I run it off the HF predator 2000, get like 6 hours before it runs out of fuel, would kind to add a extended tank but guess it works good as an alarm too

    60” KW stand up sleeper

    I'm looking at 8k btu units as most say a 5 btu won't keep up. I am gonna do the extended tank setup. Though what I would really like to do is put the 7000 watter on board that thing will run for ever!!!

    Wonder if a split unit would work ? Mount the condenser to truck and the fan above the bunk . Hmm wonder how many amps it would need.
