Oh yea, one more thing. How long have you had that TV mounted to the wall? I would like to do the same but was wondering about the vibration and bouncing around and just how much abuse those things can take.

That kind of defeats the purpose of installing the generator in the first place, now doesn't it?

It's mounted to a cabinet door, and has been there for about 2 years now. I've never had any problems with it.

I thought you said the unit was having problems cooling your cab also.
I have the advantage of being able to super insulate my sleeper when I gutted it. Pair that with Carriers newest most efficient rooftop A/C-Heatpump, and yes....it will cool the entire sleeper and cab down to 63 and that was last week in Houston. Keep in mind that my roof height is also only 75" high in the sleeper, and I insulated the cab when I had it gutted also.

I think that the unit you have should be mounted the way it was intended. Having it place like you do,...it is taking your cool air out and pushing it through the back of the unit.

That is how it is designed to operate. :lol:

It's not designed to do that, you have altered it to take cool air from inside the sleeper and send it out through the back. A normal wall shaker put in a house window would have trouble cooling the room because you are pumping the cool air outside. Your sleeper should be able to overcome the air balance issue because you are cooling a very small area,....but you did say it was having difficulty cooling your cab,....so maybe this is why.
If this continues to be a problem, you could put some ductwork over the vents on the side and vent outside air to them to cool the condenser, then that puppy would turn you into a revsicle.

It would be funny,..picture this:
A custom truck sits at a truck stop with the generator running for 5 days before anyone noticed,....they bang on the door,..wait a few days and then they call a locksmith,....6 hrs later they find a frozen truck driver in Jacksonville Florida,...in the middle of July.
Funny thing,..the drivers hand was frozen to a computer, and it was on classadrivers.com :shock:

I think if he mounts it the way it's suppose to he would either take out a toll booth or have to buy oversized permits for every state.

Hey Dog,

What is involved with doing the roof top A/C myself? I'm assuming just cut a round hole and the unit bolts down over a gasket between the metal? Just a drill bit and some metal shears?

I just ordered the Carrier 20,000 btu roof unit. Should be here next week when I get home. Now, where did I put that hacksaw.
