    Thanks espar of mich.

    Kerosene will help clean the burner tube. Sometimes if the burner tube is heavily carboned up, the heater won't want to light on kerosene. Replacement of the burner tube is not always necessary. Disassembly, cleaning and then running on kerosene might do it for you. Otherwise, you may want to...

    Battery Powered A/C

    Your concerns are definately valid. That is why choosing a high quality avanced AGM battery with plenty of reserve capacity will reduce the number of times the batteries would need to be replaced. The least amount of times the battery is deep discharged will increase its life.

    Battery Powered A/C

    Turtle, you sure know you batteries and math! In most cases, 12 volt battery powered air conditioning is going to be a compromise of cooling performance in order to reduce the maintainance concerns of an APU. In all cases, a very good insulation package and a reduction in the size of area you...

    Carrier APU Starter Problem

    Glad to here you got your starter issue worked out. Your APU may have given you some problems, but 8600 hours is 8600 gallons of fuel the truck did not burn, along with reduced truck engine wear. lets see 8600 gals x $2.50 = $21,500.00 of fuel the truck engine didn't burn. I'm pretty sure you...

    Thanks espar of mich.

    I can relate to not wanting to turn the heat on in August! maybe checking the Espar for it's performance wouldn't be a bad idea. Note of interest: we have 40+ Espar D2 heaters left at last year prices (2008). After they are gone, we will be at 2009 pricing. Approximately an addidtional...

    Rig Master Generators

    The 12,000 hr Rigmaster we worked on today went in service April/2007. Thats an average on 445 hours a month! It is all original except waterpump and exhuast. It was new to the 2007 - 387 Pete in 4/07. Whats really crazy, the truck only has 5,152 total hours on the engine. If the truck hadn't...

    APU with all the bells, or roof air with portable genset?

    The carrier Air V unit is definately an option to consider. With 13.5K and 15K btu available, standard and low profile units, you have cooling power and good looks. Ray Lawrence President Espar of Michigan 800.837.3900 http://www.esparofmichigan.com PROUD SPONSOR OF THE EO FORUM

    Rig Master Generators

    Sorry for the delayed post on this charging issue. Chances are the alternator is not charging giving you a charging error code. We can supply and install either a new alternator or a rebuilt, your choice. Having said that, we have seen charging issues on rigmasters that have perfectly good...
