Well, my tried and true methods for saving fuel are:
1.) Not working 2.) Throwing it in neutral and killing the motor..conserves fuel, and the ride is alot more peaceful.

Forgot to mention....We have bought a generator (gas) and are having an RV roof air installed next week I hope. This was the best we can do....we dont have 10k to spend on an APU.

tootie Has anyone been able to harness the heat from these, assuming no, but I've seen even weirder things in/on a truck. Full size fridge in place of the passenger seat to start with, also a 27" tv in place of the passenger seat. :shock:

There is an RV place in Tulsa (Rt 66 RV ) I think....I'll have to look anyway they have put LOTS of them on trucks lately and they quoted us a cost of about 800-900 installed. The AC is a 7,000 BTU and it is 550.00 then add install and tax to that. I dont mind walking around to the gas pumps to get fuel to fill up the generator. The generator will run about 8-10 hours pulling the AC. we can get 12-14 hrs from it but not at full load. The AC will not be full load but it is still more than we have used up till now.
IF we get it done this week I will take pics and all. tootie
