I have owned a Carrier Comfort Pro and loved the features, though I HATE the control module! It's like the old days when you just bought a new sophisticated VCR and had to sit and LEARN how to set it up!
Anyway, I'm purchasing a brand new Kenworth W900L soon and want to install a reliable APU so I won't have to run the engine to condition the cab.
The other thing I loved about the Comfort Pro was it would kick in automatically if the voltage of the batteries dropped below 13 volts and recharge the truck batteries. I had run the batteries down one time and couldn't start the truck... so I set the control module up to auto start when it got down to 13 volts. I ran it for 30 minutes and VIOLA! The truck started! That was a cool thing cuz it would have cost me a fortune to get someone to come out to where I was in the Boonies.
I was thinking of the Evolution... but I've read several issues with that APU on this board. So, I question it.
Any advice/insight on this will be much appreciated!
