    They are junk when they are on a fleet truck and never maintained. I have an ‘06 Tripac that’s still going strong.

    Battery APUs battery wont last a full 10 hrs. At least I couldn't get it too. Could get it to last longer when hooked up to reefer.

    Carrier APU has bulletproof Kubota engine. Keep clean the generator , wash often the frame and the housing parts so they won't rust...

    one more thing. when they will install it ask them to put 1 inch spacers between unit and truck frame. That space needed when you wash behind of apu.
