    I had them supply and fit a generator on my comfort pro. They were pretty fast and not too dear at all.
    They won't win many prizes for charm or customer appreciation but those things won't keep you cool!
    I'll certainly use them again if I'm down that way, they know what they're doing better than most in my experience.

    Just idle the truck, 13000 will buy a life time of idling, works better and quieter

    You're right, but if it's you paying the bills that will likely come of all that idling , not to mention the mechanical issues it would raise, you might change your opinion.
    Idleair, a decent fan and hotel nights will also certainly be less expensive than an apu over time, but not as convenient. The convenience comes at a cost though certainly, and it's obviously not for everyone.
     
    Fin Thanks this.

    This is horrible advice , lol.
    It won't by you a new emission system, these new motors and idling very bad ideal.

    If you worked only 40 weeks a year that's
    6720 hours.
    Going to say conservatively you would idle 1800 hours
    1800 × 3.25 = 5,850
    Now add on ware and tear on the motor and emission system.
    Isn't a one box in the neighborhood of 13k
    By its self?
     
    PE_T, brysol01 and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.
