It looks good on the surface, but as an Electrical Engineer, my first thought is how much power does this unit require and then with the efficiency loss of the inverter, how much current will this thing draw from the charging system.

The next issue is cooling capacity. I don't think that unit has enough cooling capacity to keep the interior of that truck cool. A car requires as much cooling capacity as a small to medium sized home. A home does not have a gasoline engine producing heat from within. A home also is not moving down the road with ambient air transferring that much more heat into it. A home is usually pretty well insulated without all that glass making a sunroom. I would really like to follow that thread to see if this guy comes back to say that his truck really is cool with that unit.

I remember reading that a car requires about 2 1/2 tons of cooling capacity. A house requires about a ton per 500 square feet. That 110 volt a/c is probably only about a one ton unit or less.

Generally this is what the big rigs are going to, except larger units with adequate capacity. They have a self contained unit that can simply be removed and replaced. Having a hermetically sealed compressor is the big advantage. On a big rig, however, you have no trouble driving an alternator however large you care to use.

Have a great day,
