The math I have done, with gen, air, box, extra tank, dc charger and approximate install, I think somewhere around $3000....probably a little less. And if I'm close on this, that's considerable savings from $10000. And currently, they use less fuel than diesel gens, and most notably, gas costs...

Well I don't have a huge sleeper. And my ac from the front of the truck can cool the back. So I'm pretty sure I'm going 9000btu maximum. And if I'm going to get that runtime with the honda, I'm going to take that route for the fuel savings alone. Plus, I've read they are simply built better...

Don't the Honda 2000i's get 9.6 hours per gallon at 50% load? That seems like the better long term strategy, even if the generator costs $1000-$1200. Anybody think different? Sent from my rooted DroidX running official Froyo, using Tapatalk!

What do you have it in now? Is that what it comes in? Sent from my rooted DroidX running official Froyo, using Tapatalk!

Does the box have to be open, or is there a way to have it vented while closed? Sent from my rooted DroidX running official Froyo, using Tapatalk!

How many watts does a 9000btu rooftop air pull? And as I said early, probably the smallest air unit would cool my sleeper. 9000 the smallest? Sent from my rooted DroidX running official Froyo, using Tapatalk!

I'm in a Straight truck, how many watts is that generator? Sent from my rooted DroidX running official Froyo, using Tapatalk!

That's more in line with what I would want. Plus, I obviously wouldn't be running my air unless necessary, and most of the time it would come on just to charge my batteries. How much was your setup, how is it mounted, and does it have electric start and charge the batteries? Sent from my...

What's is the price on the honeywell or honda? Would a pepboys generator inside a sidebox, with a muffler, through a vent hole be enough to quiet and properly vent, without having the sidebox open during use? Can you even put a muffler on one from a pepboys? How much gas are you saying this...

One more thing also. I might also put in the batteries specifically to run the other things in the trick, this way I ensure never to have a dead battery caused by something other than light or something. And do these portable generators have the automatic starts, or can one be installed for...

I think what I'm going to do is get one of the small rooftop airs, because my truck is very easy to cool. Run it straight to a 3000 watt generator, sold at pepboys for only around $300-$400. Then continue running everything else from my inverter, while having the generator charge the...

So you would recommend the portable generator with battery maintainer, rooftop air direct to generator, the rest as is through inverter, which is through the batteries, which in turn will be charged by the generator... Makes sense to me. Sent from my rooted DroidX running official Froyo, using...

I'm looking at getting a portable generator, someone I talked to said there's a 3500 watt model at pepboys that works great. I also want to get rooftop air. 1. Can a portable generator be hooked into the batteries to charge them? 2. Can the rooftop air be ran through the inverter like...

Any idea how much that runs for install and all? Sent from my rooted DroidX running official Froyo, using Tapatalk!

Might have to. The timing is always the worst, yet I know its always going to stay back up. Probably will get it fixed when the time is right. Sent from my rooted DroidX running official Froyo, using Tapatalk!

I will try answering all your questions at once. There appear to be no other electrical problems. Gauges and everything function accordingly. The clicking sound is coming from the fuse box, but only when it is attempting to be started. Not when the key is in the on position. Also, when in...

Hey everybody, quick question for all of you. I own a 2004 International 4400, and every now and then after shutting it down for whatever reason, when I go to start it back up, it will not start. There will be a clicking sound under the hood inside the fuse box, but it isn't trying to turn...

Okay, so, I would like to go the APU/Generator route anyway. Question is, how or where can I find a deal on one of these things? I know there has to be a way to get one cheaper than they are new...any tips on that?

Hi everybody. I have an International 4400 with a dt466 engine. Right now we don't have an apu or generator to help keep our batteries charged, and from what I've heard this engine shouldn't be idled. I'm trying to find some way to feel a little safer and know that if our batteries die, we can...

Actually I realized just the other day that I think I might be confusing a lot of people out there. I am not going to be doing expediting with Landstar. I am just on the Expediting forums because this is the first place I started when I was thinking about getting on with Panther and the other...
