No APU - A/C options??

Sometimes truck stop fuel rewards are better than a fuel bonus.

 

You sure about that?

 

I have already recouped my costs just in fuel savings. These are the numbers previous to installing the unit.

And these are my current numbers.

 

I have a TK APU on my other truck. When it gets above 95° outside, the cooling is barely adequate. In addition, the Espar heater only has two settings...

1. Off
2. Cook a Thanksgiving turkey.

I can set the temp at 70 degrees on this Senville and it will maintain that temperature no matter what the outside temp is. I don't need to switch modes manually. Even in 100+ degree temps, the cooling is exceptional.

 

Is that keep your truck batteries charged?

 

My Dynasys does all that. Along with charging my batteries. To each his own

 

A charger can be added, if wanted. Plugged into the generator. Most apus are 12 or 13k btu. Same as a 30 ft camper, Lol. I’ve been looking for a mini split, less than 12 k. I thought I found one recently.I can’t remember, I definately want a set up like yours.It can always be ran on a lower setting. And keep you cool in 110 weather. Been planning on it for years. Can’t beat the price. Compared to price of an apu. Lower maintenance costs too, when replacing parts.A Remote control Diesel generator, plumbed to fuel tanks, would be the ultimate. They’re expensive though. Main reason for high cost of apu’s.

 

Sold!!!

 

Yes, the inverter has a built-in 55 amp charger and maintains a proper float charge when the batteries are full. It runs off the generator when I'm out on the road and I plug it into regular power when I'm at home. I also leave the AC on at home so the food in my cabinets stays fresh and I don't have to crawl into a 140° truck.

 

Is that enough to run a refrigerator in your truck?
