Flex pipe? What kind of truck and engine?

The good thing is you can burn any oil fuel around the bad thing is it gets 100 gallons to the yard

What warp the floor? Most of these reefer floors are treated already, so I would say with the normal wear and tear, a washout is not a problem. However it you use a power-wash to clean before treating the floor, then I would use a good soap with hot water and them run the reefer to pull a lot...

I thought a DT466 was a medium duty engine not a light duty?

Yeah I pull in and everyone scatters, reminds me of ....

All of that is doable, not a lot of cost either but planning is involved. I would help but the last time I went down to Monroe, everyone ran so no second chances.

I'm just wondering who other than Phil (A Team) who else is driving a a Volvo or a Mack or a Western Star?

So you make no sense, the A/C from the APU should be in the sleeper, If you want to move air up to the cab, then there are ways of doing that. BUT overall the re-insulating of the sleeper should be done.

So the truck A/C vents are also in the sleeper? The term used is Heat Soaking, it is when you turn off the truck and the heat rises from the floor. I know of several ways to fix the problem, from insulating the floor to coating the underside of the cab with a ceramic coating - all time...

Why? where are the vents located? outside? I can tell you this, I've re-insulated about 30 sleepers, a few alumibunks and the improvements that just this one thing makes is amazing. I would venture to guess that you also have a problem with heat soaking from the cab, but nevertheless, new...

I had to pick up at a convention center once, the docks were wedged into the side lot with less the 100 feet between the docks and the wall. I was behind a moving type truck with a 106" sleeper and a 53' trailer. The driver asked me to wait until he got into the dock because both docks opened...

Layout reinsulate your sleeper with better material than fiberglass mat 10000 btu is more than enough to keep cool if the sleeper is insulated right.

Just curious Layout, who made the sleeper?

Well apartment on wheels with a real company shows the real intent of the people who own it their seriousness.

Well A bit of advice to you, get someone who knows how to convert your present system into one with a electric driven compressor and they can deal with the engine and other issues you have with the system. 4000 watts is enough to drive the thing and there isn't much to the controls of the APU...

Not that I know but why not keep the APU and just get the a/c unit on top? You don't need the Coleman generator.

Try driving a truck. you think everyone is passing you now. Just remember that if you can do one little thing to keep more money in your pocket, then you have more money quicker than the other guy. I get passed by some of these canadian trucks (yeah right speedlimiters) and I can imaging they...

Rob, I understand, I didn't make the personal comments to have thread creep but because I and a bunch of others seem to be tired of some of the crap. I offered what I know to help you and others who were curious about it but again they come out of the woodwork so I apologize for my comments and...

So d*mn me for being willing to share the info I have, not because I want to feel important but because I have the information that isn't speculation or spun propaganda. If you can prove what I said as wrong, do it - otherwise shut up.

Ah not really The compression ignition engine diesel invented ran on peanut oil and other easily obtained oils. It wasn't until someone figured out how to get the injection timing right, I think it was Bosch, the engine was limited. The science that is used for diesel engines goes far far...
