Ya they have different types like that. Problem is refilling. Also they aren't gonna do much on even remotely hot days. Best option 4 not permanent is the setup I have with the dually. But will spend about $1200. 4 a small generator and the unit. But it is heat and ac. And will freeze and burn you out. Nice system. I will post a picture and brand when I can. Can't remember right now

If your truck has a 2000 watt invertor. You can buy a portable window mount ac anywhere. If they can be found that small. Don't know if it'lll run on square wave power vs. a pure digital sine wave as is typical of house current.
Couple years back Lowes had a bunch on sale for $89. That's been the only time i seen small ones for a few years now. But i haven't been looking that much.
If your batteries aren't in the best shape though, they won't last for a 10 hour break. You'll still have to fire up the truck. -
I think the truck is a 1500 watt inverter

@scottied67 has a portable ac, but it's hook up to a Honda generator

Search homemade air conditioner on YouTube. There are several made from a 12v fan and a 5 gallon bucket. If my truck didn't have a apu and my company fussed about idle time. I would definitely have to have one.
