Wow.

It looks good except isn't this the system that needs ten engine running hours to get ten engine off hours? That will work most nights but really temp control on the 34 hour restart is more important to me. I'll spend my 4 grand elsewhere.

Maybe at full blast, I really don't know.

I'd rather have that then a genset or an a/c system that sucks major battery juice(you would have to run very expensive batteries that would still wear out, plus you would still have to idle for 2-3 hours to recharge your batteries)

I went to the blue cool demo in Tampa, the unit works pretty well,....if you keep the curtain closed, have a light colored truck,keep the vent system blowing directly on you, and can stand the sound of the vent unit itself. It was almost louder than a good genset.
Same goes for the nitesystem.

One more tidbit. If your in an area like Arizona with no humidity you can hang a wet towel in the opening of the window and have your fan blow air out another window. This is a home made air conditioner. People have been doing this for hundreds of years. Doesn't work in a humid climate though.

They also do the same thing in swimming pools in those climates. Most pools have a water fountain blowing water into the air. It's not for looks. It's to cool the water down so it's not so hot.


That concludes todays physics lesson.

Steve,

Do you have a video clip of this we can see. :lol:

No over-crowded truckstops or pickle parks to deal with
No standing in line down in El Paso behind 20 other sweaty guys waiting on a shower
No lot lizards, panhandlers, crackheads, or DOT banging on the sleeper
No buzzing reefers
No municipal idle restrictions
No pee bottles or trash strewn everywhere
No diesel smoke
No Opti-Idle waking me up every 15 minutes
No newbies backing into me
No Qualcomm going off in the middle of the night

Go local and you'll always get a good night's sleep! :wink:

Chuckle, chortle, guffaw, BaaHaaHaa! :lol:

Come on guys, ya gotta admit this tickles the funny bone a little bit ('cuz it's true). :shock:

[heavyhaulerss]

just go into one of the major truck stops & sleep in a chair in the movie room. :lol: like a lot of other folks
