APU

I have got a dynasys. its has its own generator and alternator to chrge truck batts, and a separate heat cool unit. comes with 110 outlets wired in bunk

had mine 2 years and I love it

 

Call your local Thermo King dealer. Most of them have used Tri Pacs installed for a reasonable price.

 

mine is mounted between fuel tank and quarter fender takes 18 inches of space. just saw a flatbed guy with a dynasys mounted under his headache rack

 

If I become an o/o I will setup my own APU instead of getting ripped off. For a while I had my own solar panel setup that powered my laptop, TV, alarm clock, and cell phone charger. I even added a toggle switch if I wanted the alternator to charge my extra 35 ah batteries.

 

how is an apu a rip off?? whether you buy a built apu or do up your own , it saves money and that's the bottom line. I bought my apu on a 2 year lease with no buyout at the end, I have thus been able to deduct the entire payment I have made each year along with the cost of filters oil etc for maintenance.

I have also enjoyed enough fuel savings and food savings by having available power for a microwave, refrig etc. I have easily saved three times the apu payment each month, my roi was less than a year.


in another thread leftlane posted pics of his homebuilt apu and said by doing all the work himself he had 3,000 or a little over in it. I wonder if he fabricated those units up for sale would he sell them for what it cost to build it, answer is no. probably would sell for 5 grand . and thats a gas burner. now his is definitely a class install.

its whatever works for the individual, but to classify it as a rip-off is abit unfair. especially for someone who hasn't had to own, pay for or maintain out of his own pocket.

 

mine will run while the truck is running but I don't do that, did help once when the alternator went out. if running constantly mine will use at most .25 gal per hour. but I set mine on auto and it cuts on and off by the thermostat control and cuts on if the batts run down. but I don't run it constantly. it will is wired to put 110 to the block heater
