    So basically everyone with a rigm aster can agree but why in the he double hockey sticks are they still buying these things if we ALWAYS have trouble out of them. Get carriers since thermo kings are out of the option... I for one am lucky/unlucky enough to not have an apu which I still to this day can't figure out how these brand new trucks have apus yet my 2015 Pete doesnt.

    I had to set up an appointment to have an apu installed. Truck just came in and the shop was backed up so I would have sat around for too long. Just ran without one for a while.

    Yea, I'm hearing I should call the shop. Even though these things tend to be pieces of junk if they do work it's better than wasting all this fuel idling. Which still I don't do enless it's over 80 degrees outside. But my fm keeps me up north so that don't happen often. This tank in over idle 35% with a low revenue week my pocket may hurt a little bit

    $70 a week on a 3 year lease... I don't think I'd want to pay that much just to turn around and give it back to them. Ouch

    If you run The numbers a lease isn't as bad as most people think it is. But if I ever do a ACE I'll tell them to shove that rigmaster and I'm going to deal with thermo king

    I plan on ordering a new truck and going ACE lease with it. I already know I won't get the #### rigslapper. I've been looking at the dinasys apu.

    It would be nice if the rigslapper would actually keep the cab cool when it's 90+ outside. I'm only asking for it to be 74 in my cab, but the best it's doing is 81ish :$

    You would think they would look into working with another company, I understand they have contracts but good lord. What's the point in getting one if you spend more money paying the guys at the shop then the stupid apu is worth. Granted I know the apus are market price of $8,000 or so.. im exaggerating

    In the year I've driven this 15 Evo, nothing but problems with the rigmaster. Internal coolant leak, belt failures, using oil. Glad I don't lease.
