diesel generator

[Nilao]

I had a nite system in my last truck. A/c and heat worked well. 4 deep cycle batteries would make it 8 hrs. There are several items that are required. Insulation is of utmost importance in this setup. I had heavy insulated curtains to isolate the bunk area as it's not designed to cool the front in key off operation. My walls were covered in a reflective coated foam to help with radiant heat. The minimum amps for the alternator was 260 otherwise the deep cycle batts would never fully charge. Engine had to run at least 6 hrs to fully charge all the batteries. There has to be a low voltage cut out switch between your starting and hotel load batteries otherwise you run the risk of draining the starting batteries as well. If I used the inverter to power my laptop and chill pad I could run the system for 6 hours before it shut down for low power.

Just my experience with one.
