    And now I dont care, as it costs me next to nothing to have ac, heat and charged batteries! Not to mention wear and tear on the trucks motor.
    Motorhomes must be getting bad though, if they look like a 880k miles truck...:biggrin_255:

    paw paw1 only the guy at boomer does the pully kit, I got to say after having it for a week now, the unit is much quieter, and cools , charges batts etc just as well. he wont intall the kit on a new unit, he wants it broken in for a while. I don't understand why they wouldn't recommend it, changing the pulleys simply keeps the generator and alternator at the same rpms they were originally while lowering the engine rpm. the engine will last longer, use less fuel. so far, so good.

    What is the out the door price for Dynasys. I been going back and forth on buying one. I don't idle that much, I run during the day and sleep at night. I do the opposite during the winter months. I do idle if gets to hot or cold.
     
    Rado101 Thanks this.

    it reduces it 800 rpm, it runs I would guess a couple hundred rpm now above a tripac, and with its ability to cut on and off uses just sips of fuel
     
    Rado101 Thanks this.

    I had one for 2 years running solid GA and FL and that thing has froze me out (during hottest part of the day) on quite a few occasions

    Apu is a rip off.the want $14,000 plus installation,and cut my fairing so I don't want that to happen,so I thought about Honda generator,so I bought the 3,000 is,for about $2480 with remote install,you just press the button for 5 second it turn on or you could turn manual pulling the wire.the generator is very quiet.it handle a 13,000 btu easily,with using a microwave n tv together.i bought Wynette commercial portable ac,around $580 in amazon.i took the passenger seat and put it there.i saved $10,500, and Honda warranty for 3 years,I highly recommend driver to buy Honda,u won,t reget it.i love it
