I bought a GE 10K BTU portable AC (51.6 Lbs.) and a Champion 2500W inverter generator (39 Lbs.) for my hotshot truck. Did a video on the install. I used the two vent's on the rear of my cab for the air inlet and outlet so I didn't have to modify my cab. $450 at Best Buy for the AC and $582 at Amazon for the generator. Generator runs 6-9 hours on 1 tank of fuel (little less than 1 gal). I like it really cold to sleep and this worked great. Small $20 fan from Walmart that runs off a USB cord was the icing on the cake. For my window shades, I bought a roll of the silver stuff at Lowes - a must have unless you go with something like you have.
Thats dope man!! I didn’t want to deal with a generator and the use of space outside of the truck. This is a great option for some though that want to go that route.
I love those complete weathertech shade kits! I am one that idles my trucks.I’m thinking about jumping back into a semi just to be more comfortable when I’m out for longer distances from home.
Heck yeah bro, the shades are everything!! I idle my 2500 in the past but with this truck, the fuel consumption is high and I just try to avoid emissions problems. But the semi is definitely the way for more comfortability!
@@HotshotMacc I totally know exactly what you mean with that fuel consumption! That’s why I didn’t mention it lol I idle cause iykyk 💪 same goes towards the semi tractors
I run mine off of a predator 3500 generator, i needed that anyway for my cpap and to run the impact wrench that i carry for changing a flat if need be, i didnt buy the battery for the ac unit, works great!
I definitely could have used this when I went down to Florida. Especially when I sat for a while the next day waiting for a load. Thank you Tim and your wife for the great content.
Looks awesome mabe see how it performs over the next few weeks I'll be watching for an update Take care stay safe and may God bless you always 🙋♂️🇬🇧🇺🇸
Sup peeps, I was curious to know if you all have created another spreadsheet with your gross and expenses. I've watched the one from Feb 2021, but I know you was leased on then. I want to see what the calculations look like now that you're not leased on with anyone.
Whats good Alex! Thanks man! I run the drain for the water through the same hole the vent hoses are running. Ill have a full installation video uploaded soon!
Keep up the good job you are doing out their what kind of unit is it and where can I buy one Rudy G. you are a life saver all the heat out there thanks for the information 👍👍
Thanks brotha!! I’ve gotta do a video on the cell signal booster. I haven’t had much success with it or seen a huge difference. It’s made a difference on some occasions but Im trying to see if I just need to tune it somehow. But once I sort that out I’m going to definitely share it.
I ran vents through the floor. In my truck there is a replaceable plate on the floor so I used that to run my vents through. You can see it in the installation video I did.
There is a removable plate that sits on the floor. It can be replaced and that what I drilled the holes through. I’m going to drop a video showing the installation probably this Sunday.
I’m still trying to figure out how you and your wife sleep in there 😂, my girl wants to roll with me and I’m like with her extra bags and her there’s no way I can do it lol

What truck are you guys driving that you can idle?
I run mine off of a predator 3500 generator, i needed that anyway for my cpap and to run the impact wrench that i carry for changing a flat if need be, i didnt buy the battery for the ac unit, works great!
Glad I see somebody actually uses. Now I know it’s a waste of money. I love my set up 10 times better.
What set up you use
I definitely could have used this when I went down to Florida. Especially when I sat for a while the next day waiting for a load. Thank you Tim and your wife for the great content.
Totally agree! Your welcoming my brother 💪🏽🫡
@@HotshotMacc I gotta stop watching y’all videos and not hitting the like button. I be forgetting lol.
I asked you how in the hell you rolled without AC at your first securement class! LOL Glad you came around.
Lol I remember that! Man I definitely needed this! Thankfully I’ve only idled about 4 times in the truck but now I should be good 🙏🏽😏
Looks awesome mabe see how it performs over the next few weeks I'll be watching for an update
Take care stay safe and may God bless you always 🙋♂️🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thanks! I’ll definitely keep you guys updated in how it performs! Thanks for watching & stay safe!
@@HotshotMacc how did the ac work through the summer

Looks bad ass. alex here with AA&JJ TRANSPORT just one quick question where the drain water goes???
Whats good Alex! Thanks man! I run the drain for the water through the same hole the vent hoses are running. Ill have a full installation video uploaded soon!
Keep up the good job you are doing out their what kind of unit is it and where can I buy one Rudy G. you are a life saver all the heat out there thanks for the information 👍👍
Thanks! Glad it helps! It’s called Zerobreeze. Check out the link in the description for more details!
Tim... keep up the great videos. I noticed what looks like the cell phone boost antenna. How are you liking it? Does it really work?
NTX

So what did you do drill 3 holes in your floor board to run the 2 big and 1 little hoses
I drilled 2 holes through a replaceable plate that’s on the floorboard to run all the hoses. I’ll be dropping an install video soon.
You need a class A,that's just to cramped up you can't even stand up in it my hat goes off to you for living this way bro.
I have a Class A
I don’t think you know what hotshotting is
How do you do the venting out? Did you cut a hole
In the floor?
I ran vents through the floor. In my truck there is a replaceable plate on the floor so I used that to run my vents through. You can see it in the installation video I did.
Did you drill holes in the floor for the vents
There is a removable plate that sits on the floor. It can be replaced and that what I drilled the holes through. I’m going to drop a video showing the installation probably this Sunday.
Cool thanks awesone vid !! 😎
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
is that your truck I see in Garland TX?
Yup lol 🤫🤫
Looking for a company to get leased on to. Non cdl i got 35+5 trailer with 2500. Can you recommend one please
I leased on to hotshot107 when I ran non cdl. I can’t really recommend any other bc I can’t validate their operations
Bro not sure if you did it or not but the exhaust vent have to go outside the trunk some kind of way it will kill you carbon dioxide poisoning...
Thanks for the heads up, it’s definitely outside the truck.
No install footage bro?!!
I’ve got a full install video coming.
It would be coo if it was a heater/AC
We brought Eco flow it has heat and air.
Very true!!
I’m still trying to figure out how you and your wife sleep in there 😂, my girl wants to roll with me and I’m like with her extra bags and her there’s no way I can do it lol
🤣🤣 man we be tight back there snuggled up. It ain’t the most comfortable so we go back and forth between hotels when she with me.
Are you saving up to buy a semi or you staying with hotshot?
Staying with the hotshot for now but Semi will come in the future.
The hose goes outside?
Yes, I have an install video coming soon.
That thing almost will put you out of the truck. That is huge.
Lol it can be but it’s completely out of my way with the way I installed it under my bed.
