Installing Solar on the truck...

This fall, it was acting up. I don't know if it was just a fuel filter or something major, but for less than $200 I just bought an entire new one. Now I have a complete 2nd system if anything happens and I want to try changing parts. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GH2...8c79e7253f

I can park overnight for 10 hours with the heater running and an electric bar fridge running off my inverter and still be at 12.2 volts in the morning. Solar would be nice for daytime layovers.

Trust me, I did not pay $900+, LOL!

I bought mine at a Thermo King dealer in OH, just west of Beaver Dam, I paid $550 installed, and he through in a new exhaust pipe. It was a simple swap, great guys down there and they do not rip you off.

On those heaters, and I would think this is true with all of them, is that you need to run them at least every month year round. It keeps them cleaned out and that little fuel pump operating properly. Do that, and it is rare that you will have any issues.
