*Love this unit! Using upstairs in my sons bedroom **Fastly.Cool** and he’s finally able to be comfortable upstairs without me freezing downstairs. Works for more sqft than expected!*
Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
What is the total added weight? How long will the batteries last before I must recharge them? Can I use shore power on this unit? At 110 how cool will my entire cab be? What is total cost, including installation? Warranty??
I would use the factory system and put a compressor from a Tesla in it . Boom easy . Run the ac power to one independent semi battery with an isolator switch . When the battery dies in 7 hours you can still start the truck . Charge up for an 45 min then get another few hours if needed . The electric car ac compressor is so compact it can go anywhere and it’s rugged .
The A/C compressor from a Prius is similar too I think and much more readily available and less money! I had a Prius that had the electric compressor..heck it was all you would hear if the car was on battery power!
trucks have been doing this for 30 years--when you start the truck the soilnoid engages and charges the stand alone batteries- one battery or two for the AC and one for the diesel cab,engine heater for winter use--
yupp only if you like your rig to look like a mickey mouse cart go ahead ya cheapo not like operators make a little bit of mula to not be able to afford this new stuff
@@nhutduong1601 all you got to do is unhook and go to the Gas Pump and just pump the gas you need to use the generator even if you had gas on the generator that next day. He wouldn't give you a ticket because it is perfectly safe once the gas is inside the generator everybody would know that
Or for 1200 bucks you can buy a generac design generator with electric start and 5000 watt capacity wire the start stop button into the sleeper and fuel straight out the tanks.
I would prefer to run the line set through the cab rear wall , keeping it inside both units . That would have eliminated that cowling on the inside and the two flex lines out side being exposed. Then you could run the lines directly w/o that extra thru-hull fitting and the four extra connections that requires. That eliminates, 4 more connections it could leak from and the cost of unnecessary fittings & hardware.
sailingsolar how about it I agree totally that install looks like shit. The concept is great but they seriously need to clean up the install. And the cappy clamps holding that battery box in place is horrifying.
Brilliant idea however I think there should be more support holding the unit up and in place. A cheaper route would be a no breeze M2 ac connected to the batteries some how.
I would like to know the cost also. I'm thinking my next street rod will be a semi can/sleeper on a Chevy truck drive train. It would be nice to have a working ac in it. Lol
@@hearsejr It's on their website. $3,537.80 for the van kit, $5,306.70 for the truck kit, $6,519.66 for the kit shown in this video with the battery bank.
nice job we need this kind of AC in the middle east how much will cost to install this unit? How many hours the AC will keep working ? does it work in 50 c temperature?
I would check out the ac compressors for electric cars . Instead of a mechanical compressor you have a 24 or 12 volt electrical compressor . And run your fan and compressor to an isolated power or turn off one battery at night . In the morning turn on the other battery to run . Or the isolated battery configuration with a diode will only charge not draw on your system .
Ummmm not in my rig. Did you pull a vacuum or do a nitrogen flush looks like you put in a crossover solenoid or a battery disconnect switch but did you wire up to the alternator to charge those batteries. What about all those metal shards inside that battery box could you remove those batteries and clean out that box before you turned it back to the customer
Apparently you didn't notice that the camera cuts away after the holes are drilled. Then when they show the guy putting the rubber grommet in the hole, the shavings are not there any longer. So it is safe to assume they used a vacuum to clean.
Oklahoma Dave why don't you contact the company and ask them for a job you obviously feel that they're not doing a good job and that you could do the job better
@Northern , You are correct, he did use a piece of wire loom, but if you look closer, you'll see that there is also a wire loom and tape on the wires that are coming through the hole, which provides enough protection. Wire loom provides enough protection, that is what it is made for, not just to make things look pretty.
Cool setup but looks like they conveniently edited out the part where you evac and charge the refrigerant making it look easier to install than it actually is
Rivnut setter. You can get the same thing as a drill bit -- better way to go, particularly for the larger rivnuts, and dpending on the size of your drill, you will likely be able to fit it into tighter spaces.
honada generator and a portable ac...drain tube through existing wiring loom hole..and the extension chord for the generator/ac connection done the same. my generator cost 700 bucks and the ac set me back another 350 bucks...ac was designed for a 16x16 room so it cools a cab real easy.
