While I'm sure you likely do use it 12 months of the year, that isn't the point. The point is, if you didn't have the APU, would you idle every single night? I know I don't. If it is under 70 degrees and over 30 degrees, I don't idle. I know for a fact that when you first bought the truck, you weren't idling during cold temps (I think you said somewhere around 30 degrees or so, if I remember correctly). That is a night that you would have used no fuel without the APU, but with the APU, you are using fuel.
Yup, your right, 8 months, I read it wrong.
I still sleep with it 30 or so in the cab with the Rigmaster. I put the unit into auto mode when I go to sleep and it turns on at 30 and shuts off at 45. What I meant was during the day I would run it non stop to keep the inside at a very comfortable 72 or so.
So, during the night the unit is off and not using any fuel at all. In the morning I turn it up to 72, hit the on button on my Mr. Coffee and get up about 10 minutes later.
