    I thought since the name it would be electric. I just looked it up. Doesn't sound bad. Not sure what the appeal might be vs the competition. It sounds good, perhaps for owner operators who do not do reefer. If I was reefer I'd rather have the same brand apu as my reefer unit to visit the same dealerships.

    That's an intriguing concept, but part of me thinks maybe the benefit would be minimal on account of them rarely breaking at the same time. The one time I got both serviced at the same time, the two dealerships were literally around the corner from each other. I might have been able to drive from one to the other without tripping my ELD or blocking any traffic. Admittedly I've only had a reefer and an APU at the same time for a few months, so there's still a lot to learn.

    Personally I would stay away from any company that would name itself Go Green.

    With no national network to service it I'd avoid it and go with carrier or thermo king .

    I took a look and they've got shops in PA, IN and TX which covers much of my running area. Plus they claim to be engineered to be easy to service by anyone. From one of their google reviews:

    This thing is a apu on stiroids. It's heavy duty, it just looks like it's built to last. I was in OKC The Temp was 100 and I didn't have to shut the curtains to keep the truck cool. The unit is very accessable, oil change took me all of twenty minutes. You only need one wrench.
