I have a flat top Pete and currently running a portable AC unit. But it’s kind of a pain because I’ve got to set it up every time I want to use it. Would like to check out the Paccar, smart air system, but can’t seem to find any information Except for a couple short videos on YouTube. Anyone know anything about the units how much power they draw, etc. I’m sure they cost a fortune through Paccar

That is a factory installed system made by Bergstrom, don’t think you can get it aftermarket. You can get the nite phoenix aftermarket.

For the smart unit itself though i admit i have limited experince. Ive never used one though ive heard horror storys.....but ive heard them about APUs too so take my opinion with a grain of salt.Green APU Thanks this. -
I have the "smart-air" system in my 567. Not a great unit. It's mostly for low temp areas but where the sun may heat up the interior. It will not cool you if it's over about 80f outside. It draws a ton of juice and the way it is setup from the factory, it will start your prime mover engine with a 240 amp alternator to charge the batteries once a certain draw down voltage is reached. It also is a nightmare to charge with 134a. You can not do it with a can and gauges. You have to have a freon pump to charge the system.
