I understand a lot of you guys might be running with APUs and thats great. I just can't see spending $7-$9000 for one, my car isn't worth that much! Some guys swear by them, others say in the long run the maintence makes them not worth it.
I was thinking of buying an RV generator, or even a little honda (have you heard the little hondas? Quiet!) and a small A/C. Now the problems with that are: its gas, and I really don't want to cut a hole in the back of the truck for the A/C. I've been trying to find a small AC system like maybe a car retrofit system or a system for a tractor. Then you could do something easy. Then of course theres the whole AC vs. DC thing...
Somebody out there must be doing something without spending 9 grand. Ideas???
While on the subject, anyone heard anything about the cool blue truck device thingy (its by webasto I think) Anyway, it stores energy and gives you 10 hours of AC. No additional batteries needed and NO other engine what so ever. Sounds interesting and its only like $2400 or $3000. Something like that, a lot cheaper than an APU if it works! (But does it work?)
