Hey, have a 780 myself with an isx a little heavier than the volvo engine I believe. Have 2 100g tanks set about 20inch in front of the 1/4 fender. Want to put a tripac the same place as you but am concerned about the steer axle weight. Did you buy any chance scale your 780 before and after??

No unfortunately I did not. My 2007 has D16 Volvo engine in it and I don’t know how heavy is a Cummins engine but D16 pretty heavy. Even with 45 and 46k I’ve never had any issues. Because is a heavy engine even before I installed the Tripac on it I’ve always kept my 5th wheel in the back.

I'm curious, did you install all the interior bits in between the bench seats or did you find a way to put it under the bunk passenger side bunk and integrate it into the existing vents?

Yes I installed the evaporator and the espar heater under the bunk passenger side. There are several way you can consolidate to save space. I installed them in two deferent ways. When you make your marks for the pass through watch and make sure you’ve clear floor supports, I accidentally cut through one of mine. About the vents, yes I cut a 4in hole on the passenger side of the bunk and installed one duct from the evaporator, and the other duct from the evaporator I tied up with a splitter into the truck sleeper duct.
