Who has put on a roof mount AC on a Kenworth W900? I am going to do it in a couple weeks and I looking for any advice before I get into it.
Were there any supports up in the roof ?
I really don't want to take the headliner down if I don't have to.

I hope this thread gains momentum as this is something I've wanted to do to my W9 as well but I was hoping for some input, and every time I see one with a roof top a/c unit he's always going the other way. Plus is there a disadvantage if you have a sleeper roof fairing as well?
Chipperrr Thanks this. -
Have you thought about using a mini split instead? O/o or company truck?
Chipperrr Thanks this. -
I have thought about doing a mini-split AC and quite honestly I think it would be cheaper. The only reason I don't is I have a top bunk and I want to leave it so when my kids come with me they have somewhere to sleep. I just don't know where else to mount it with it still being there.. Any ideas?

Well the mini split inside unit isn't that big. Might even could put it under the bottom bunk. Then I'd make myself some custom duct work. To bring it up to both bunks. Could use some large pvc pipe. The outside unit could be secured to the back wall of the cab. You'd just need a large enough hole for the hose to fot through.

Split system blower is only 9 inches wide. No problem to mount it above upper bed.
tommymonza, Chipperrr and Wasted Thyme Thank this. -
I currently have a window unit and a generator. I made a nice window shelf, painted to match the truck, and looks all clean when set up, but the roof top always interested me, hard part is finding someone who knows what they're doing and can do a clean job.
