Few tips on installation.
Measure the distance between trailer and cab in all worst case scenario we have, 90 degree turn, dip or high RR crossing to make sure trailer lobe will not hit condenser.
Cover upper bad and have someone with good vacuum to collect the dust before drill the hole. Cab is fiberglass.
If you decide to DIY everything you need vacuum pump with manifold and special adapter

Copper pipe bending requires extra patience. Use solid wire to make a template before bending pipes. You don't have second chance with this.
Many truck stops parking isn't level. Piece of wood 6x6 under front wheel will help keep right level to drain condensate outside if parking spot choice is limited.
