Love my Thermo King Tri Pack, even thought of making a recording of it purrring away under the sleeper for when I am home in bed
The Tri Pack is totaly automatic, (It is basicaly a motor driven battery charger. Everything runs off the batteries, inverter, and when it sences they need charging it fires up) shuts off when you turn on the truck, starts up (if need be) when you shut off. The Carrier, and most other units, you have to start them when you need them and shut them back off.
Would never buy another truck without one on.
