I didn't get a close look at just how he did it, but it looked like some plywood around the window AC unit. Didn't ask what size generator he had either. The main reason I didn't try it myself is that the generator with a gas engine will not last as long as an APU. I'm quite sure the gas engine would have to be replaced every now and then. I was weighing the difference between initial cost and replacement costs, then got out of my own truck and became a company driver. So much for the generator. Retired a while later, and not the least bit worried about it anymore.Originally Posted by firebird_1252
i was also thinking of doing the same thing. but the way i look at it, is that by the time you get a good generator, ac, heaters etc its just a bit less then a apu. what i was thinking is: a 3000w generator (kipor) , a portable ac unit, portable heat and a battery charger. the one thing i havent figured out is how to get the vent for the ac out the window and make it so no bugs/rain/heat come in.
