Here's what I have invested in the system at this point:
Generator - $809 Air Conditioner - $216 Box - $600 Misc parts and labor - $300 (approx.) ______________ TOTAL - $1925 It should take me between 1 1/2 - 2 months to recoup the costs of this system. |

As I've stated on several occasions, this is the solution that works for me. I don't have $9000 - $11,000 to invest in an APU system at this time, but I still needed to come up with an idling solution. This idling solution works for me. Will the window unit become permanent? I don't know. I've already taken the AC apart to see how it is put together, and have contemplated separating the condenser from the main unit, so I can install the condenser on the back of the sleeper, and the main unit under the bunk. But I lack the time to do that at this point. One thing I pride myself on is the fact that when I experiment with things like this, I make sure that they are capable of being disassembled and returned to stock. This is no different than when I installed the seats from a 64 Impala. I could have this entire APU system off the truck in about a half a day, and you'd never know it was ever there. |
You could get an exhaust elbow that has a 1&1/4 fitting welded to it , then the exhaust just goes up your stack.
Did you have to install a fuel pump? You should def. put a thermometer inside there to check for heat, if it gets too hot, you could always just open the top while you run it. Its better to make some noise than start a truck fire. Your roof is flat isn't it? if so a roof RV AC unit is a possibility in the future. My unit cools my sleeper down to 63 degrees even when its 100+ out. |
Someone humor me please..... Where does the window go when the A/C unit is in, and what about rolling down the road ??? Does the A/C unit come out ???

Best think about covers for the vents before winter. louvers won't hurt the output of the AC as long as they don't restrict airflow. How many watts is the generator? |
Rev what is the diamond plate cover above your microwave oven for?

The only thing I can point out is how much bracing holds up the unit on the inside? It doesn't look like alot in the picture but I am sure you either have it hidden or aren't done with it yet. The balance is off and might vibrate on bumpy roads more then you think.

Here's some more pics of that "hideous" exhaust :lol: (pardon the crappy pictures, as I've been using my camera phone all day and it was getting dark out) http://www.overdesaturated.com/0711082042.jpg http://www.overdesaturated.com/0711082042a.jpg http://www.overdesaturated.com/0711082042b.jpg http://www.overdesaturated.com/0711082042c.jpg http://www.overdesaturated.com/0711082043.jpg http://www.overdesaturated.com/0711082044.jpg |

edit: where does it come from rather... it goes out the condenser... |
