I know after seeing the some of the low life that head right for the buffet after by passing the soap and water in the bathroom keeps me eating in my truck.Ecolli is not seved on my menu and thats got nothing to do with how broke I am.
There are a lot of numbers that go into this APU equation people tend to overlook for example extending oil changes due to less idle time.I have more than doubled my change miles which the money savings here alone almost pays for the unit.
As far as the cops to inforce these foolish laws you need to relize that these are tree hugger laws and way before real crimminals are brought to justice they will go after us.This has been proven time and again and if you need the proof first hand stop at the B-3 in Caanan,NY and leave your motor going during the day time it wont take long to get the proof.They are using Fish and Game cops there to patrol the parking lot and hand out $500.00 tickets.

What on earth did you do for enterta,......Oh I know,...thats when you could run 3 logs and do 90mph,.....back in the "Rubber Duck" days :lol: .
I saw an OLD cabover and thought to myself that it would be neat to drive that,...but then I made myself dinner, turned on my 32"LCD TV and watched a movie,...I lost complete interest in that crazy idea,....Joy Ride was a cool movie though,........"Candycane"!!!

Don't you be talking about my Paris. She's a saint. She's going over to Africa and help the poor. We'll she almost did. Those photographers are always bumping into her and causing her ta ta's to fall out. It's not her fault. LEAVE PARIS ALONE. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

To each his own I guess. I just can't understand having that monster in a tiny RV. Who sits that close to that?

That's only 60- 10 hour periods a year. That would make you an exception, not a rule.

But I totally agree with your numbers; they clearly indicate that other than the benefit of less wear and tear on your engine, having an APU makes no sense.

Just wondering what anyone thinks of paying by the hour for an APU. It would work something like this, a unit built & installed at no up front charge & pay from hours accumulated on an hourmeter with all maitenance in,

Any thoughts? comments?
