With 2 summers on it now, how's it holding up? Any problems? Still working? My diesel APU packed it in and I can't justify fixing it or buying a new one. Next spring I'd like to install a split AC and am wondering about durability.

Tomorrow will post picture for more reliable indoor unit support. Existing brackets not designed to survive bumps and bridges G-force. I used to use portable A/C units with a generator too. 4-5 trips over veil pass though,.. and the portable A/C unit was toast. It just could not take the constant altitude changes. Same thing with small refrigerators that I would get at Walmart. Just throwing that out there for others to think about. RE: Anybody running electric APU? - Jon Mastin - 08-29-2017 Hey Kid Rock did you mount it to the back of the cab or to your headache rack? [attachment=3051] Mine is mounted to the cab like Snailexpress. keeps the movement on the hard copper lines to a minimum. Everything moves as 1 piece. I have only seen one other mini split installed in a truck in person and his was mounted to the frame and his connections were toast from all the movement between the cab and frame.

I went and got a bracket made like the one snailexpress has. I have a volvo too so it worked out perfect not having to drill any new holes for the bracket. |
