honda 2000 generator

Looks as though this site is trying to sell Blackrock APU's. I'm pretty sure Blackrock shut down earlier this year.

 

How big is his a/c unit with what inverter size is he using???

All I know is that it is a 110 ac and he runs it off the generator directly.

 

The generator thing you will be fueling all the time. If I did a permanent mount, I would hard pipe the exhaust up in the air beside the truck exhaust and put a bigger muffler on it.

You probably want an AC like this... Stay with the lower wattage

i have the frigidare 5k window unit, i put in the passenger window. it cools good at night, but during the day you Must put up the window shades.

 

For bigray how you fixed the ac in the windows.have you buying a special frame for the windows or what you have for this

 

In my experience, a window unit will not last if it is mounted in the back of the cab. They are not built to take the vibration and will sooner or later, usually sooner, crack the solid lines and the freon leaks out and you're done. Even the average RV unit will not last. You need a unit built to survive the vibrations and impacts it will receive from a class 8 truck. The Coleman Roughneck is built for this type of application. A friend has a low profile Carrier that has been working well for some time but I'm not familiar with the model. He went through a number of rear mounted window units before surrendering to the right unit for the job. I also went through a cheaper RV unit, the Coleman Polar Cub, before doing the research and finding the right unit for the job.

It's the same with the gen sets. My Honda EU3000is is an excellent unit and has over 3000 hours on it. It is mounted on a custom aluminum bracket to the frame. However, it is a pain to get out to start and stop it. There is no way I've found to connect it to a remote fuel tank to extend the run time. It is a potential fire hazard to fill it up unless it is completely cold. A 2.8, 3.6 or 4KW Onan or Generac is the right way to go for a budget APU setup. They are light, permanently mounted and built for the job. I'm not at all against the gas power as I've learned that it is relatively easy to get gas at many locations without the need to carry cans. I've never been hassled in California about CARB compliance either. They are frying bigger fish like the idling trucks. Buying everything brand new - the right RV roof top unit, gen set, gas tank and battery charger to keep your truck batteries topped off, plus installation can be had for under 4 grand. I'm assuming you have an inverter. If not, add another 200 bucks for a 1500 watt unit. I have a 2500 watt and have never needed that much power, but I don't cook in the truck. If I did I'd run the generator.

That's all I have to say about that.
