Put the ignition switch on accesory, the bunk blower will blow ambient air around. Not a/c but it sounds like your company doesnt want you to idle anyway. It might stay running on high idle depending on the settings in the ecm.

No. Would have almost no cooling effect ... you would be surprised how much a small fan helps and you can run it all night won't kill batteries at all

Its been a while since Ive been in a sleeper but arent the a/c and heater two different systems? If they are as long as your blowers good it should work...as far as the idle thing I dunno im still newbie.

All a bunk heater does is draw a very small amount of fuel from your tanks, puts it on a heater element, which gets real hot from electricity from your batteries, and has a small fan to blow the heat into the sleeper ... very simple, very effective, very efficient, takes maybe 0.5 gallon for a full 10 hours and can cook you out of the bunk on high mode.

When I was with Prime, I tried everything to make my truck idle. Out of desperation, I finally took a broom and wedged it between the armrest and the throttle. It worked. It might work with your truck.
zoekatya Thanks this.
