Green Apu?

Is it the one with the newer engine?

 

Seems he just installed it, ill be on the look out for his personal review after a few days with it.

 

Well guys I bit the bullet and got my green apu installed. Installation was great the guys in ft worth did a great job, but off the bat there are some things I need to see how I can improve on this system. I looked into getting an apu to get a better nights sleep and let me tell you this thing is LOUD. If I could compare it, its like sleeping with a reefer on. The exhaust itself is pretty small so maybe there’s a fix for that. There’s no auto on and off like the thermoking so its always running using up the warranty hours. It would be a great “update” if possible in the future. The BTUs are questionable on a hot (85+) degree day, will have to test that in the summer. Also there’s a audible click under the bunk every time the units ac compressor kicks. Out of all the apus to choose from, the Freon needed for this unit is 1.7 lbs while the hp2000 are 1.8 and thermokings are 1.8-2.0 not sure if that makes a difference but its open for discussion . The control panel does look like something from 2 decades ago but it seems reliable.

Now the pros..
This thing does have a lot of potential with it being the only 3 cylinder apu that I know of. Parts seem of great quality. Air flow is great, the control panel is basic but functional. They have a good network of places to service them and also that do the installs. It does what it was designed to do, but there is a bit of room for improvement.

Now that Justrucking installed his ill have to see his review on it .

 

I was reading around the forums of drivers being comfortably cool in 95 degree weather with a tripack, youd think a greenapu having more than double would top that. But i had it on full in 68 degree weather and it kinda kept it cool. Ill be rearranging the vents to the corners of the sleeper instead of under the bunk to get more airflow on top to see if that helps. In short my expectations were pretty high but its still getting broken in so we’ll see
