I purchased and installed a similar unit about 2 weeks ago. I carry a total of 8 batteries: 4 for the truck and 4 for the 12v mini split. On a good day of driving at least 8 hrs, all the batteries are fully charged and the unit will run all night on the coolest setting and the fan on the lowest setting. It is not as noisy as I expected it might be after watching several other installation videos. I suspect removing the adjustable louvers will help to assuage the sound, and I have found no real difference changing the direction of the louvers anyway. I think my unit would run longer on the batteries, but my 12v refrigerator/freezer competes for power, so I get a solid 8-10 hours. The truck is running 4 agm batteries, and the air conditioner is running 4 Marine Deep Cycle 850 CCA batteries. There is a kill switch separating truck and parking batteries. I saved a little money and purchased a heavy duty, gauge 2 set of jumping cables to connect everything, and I still have 12 feet remaining. The system seems to work well. I will have to move the blower fan a little higher as it blows on my headache rack and does not vent as well as it should, and the shut down sensor will engage on really hot days. Other than this and having to learn a little Chinese, the unit has been working well. I purchased mine on Ebay from a seller who had over 10,000 sales and 98% positive, and it cost less than $400, including S+H.
In my other video there is a quieter ac system, and it’s 12 volts as well. But now it’s time to talk about heaters already. If you want to get something done good do it yourself. I also recommend insulating your truck , it helps a lot to reduce noise and it’s quality rest, not just to pretend you’re sleeping, good luck.
The 12 volt units are nearly the same price of the higher quality 120 volt units. The 120 volt unit on my Volvo lasted 2.5 years without any problems and was whisper quiet. Try smoothing out the plastic blades and all transitions from the fan to the vents
how loud is it with the truck running ? i slept in a big truck 35 years ,motor running for heat and ac ,you get used to it ,im pretty sure it seems a lot quieter with the engine running .the ac in my 20ft rpod camper sounds like a freight train when its running .
@@samuelmcgill-rl3lb I hear you. Especially classic truck with stucks. Oooooooohh , if you park next to one with an older reefer on , not just you are going to miss all the noise but you will not notice heaviest earthquakes either. You may not notice your truck running probably, but!!! If you was sleeping so nicely and the beast pulles over , oooooooohh it’s over from vibration in your chest. Lord help us!!!
Did you like the cold this machine makes? i order it for one of my constraction machine im waiting to pick it up. tell me if it makes cold air please. for the noise it is not a problem for me. any other issue?
You failed to mount both the condenser & evaporator on insulators to prevent and vibration transfer to the sheet metal. RV roof AC units are much noise than that.
I can deal with the noise, I’ve seen Chinese writing on the unit so tells me that it’s not made in America. My problem is that I didn’t get the blower that goes inside the cab. Even in my home I still hear the air conditioner. I just wanted to know that it does a good job.
You have 3 air vents closed the air will rush to squeeze through the 2 open . And if is vibrating and you said was damaged. It could be the fan is unbalanced
@@kyvirlogistics4993 I will make a video soon. I am happy with it. Cooling nice, just need extra batteries now. And I think it's more efficient. Didn't run it in Florida yet, but it's nice.

Can you tell which unit you purchased and what the eBay seller's name was?
Try adding rubber pads between outdoor unit and mounting bracket
Will fix the noise and vibration that’s what I did
How many hours last before drain your batteries?
If you're sensitive to noise you should not sleep in your truck to begin with.

He sounds like an asshole these units are great he sound's slow😅
Thanks brother u saved me some money

They are 120, my goal is to not run generator, but yes, I love those for heat pumps
How do you charge this unit with freon??? The one I have is blowing hot air...

In what direction does the air flow through the outside unit?
It's for a construction machine, they didn't send the brushless quiet evaporator , that will be much quiet and like home sperate model.
Well, they advertised it for semi trucks unfortunately and very quiet was not there either. It was such a horrible experience for me and time wasted.
Why am i laughing soooo hard at this?? 😂
What was the power source? The normal truck batteries?
@@gmstream9259 12volts
I like mine. Cold and runs off my solar system
I spoke to someone that was running this while driving is that possible?
@@r80ishere yes
That's fine with me!
good lord, that is just about as loud as the regular RV roof ACs

Yes it all could be, but it it's sant back and new different style is on the way.
@@colossus5752have you installed the new one?
@@kyvirlogistics4993 yes I did
@@colossus5752 how’s it working for you? I’m looking into the a different style because of this review. How cold can you get the truck?
