Electric APUs?

I have an electric one...works well

 

What about the parksmart? I have one, works well. But it's a company truck so that's all I can tell you about it

 

Couldn't tell ya. Lol whatever comes in a prostar

 

I got the same one I believe it is maxxpower will check in morning if I remember if not just shoot me a PM and I'll get back to yiu

 

If your going to go the portable A/C route consider one of the stand up kinds with a flexible duct to exhaust the heat.

That said, if you get one of those I would HIGHLY recommend one of the dual hose versions. 1 hose brings in outside air to cool the unit, the other blows out the now hot air. All that in/out is isolated from the "room" in its own circuit.

The single hose units only blow out the hot air. That discharged air needs to be replaced (unless your a martian and can live in a vacuum) so it will mean you have to leave a window cracked slightly (1/8" or so) so outside (hot/humid) air can replace the air being dumped outside. This makes the unit much less efficient and you might not achieve the level of coolness you desire. The twin hose version solved that problem.

The 2 hoses are easy to make a window adapter for (kind of like that deal for the truck stop provided a/c thing (idle air?) That never really worked. Rol your window down, put your "adapter panel" in the gap, close the window on it.

I helped a guy set this system up in a KW. It now freezes him out...

About the electric APUs; If I recall correctly, most of them required 6-8 batteries and had a relatively low output BTU rating so for anything medium size or larger sleeper size wise they didn't work that well. Also battery maintenance can be an issue.

I understand some of the factory installed systems seem to do pretty well though..

Good luck and when your done post up some pictures!

 

Ive been in -10 weather and my heater run me out of my clothes, covers and truck.....it was a sight.....hahahaha

 

It was 93 here today.. I don't know where you could be that it's -10 now but the only advice I have for you is... HEAD DUE SOUTH...

-10....??? My thermometer does not even have the ability (OR NEED) to go anywhere even sort of close to crazy numbers like that... ESPECIALLY IN MAY...

Are you really serious? Today? -10?

I must be a wimp... LOL
