That's pretty slick.
I'd rather not run the hours up on my gen if I can afford it and my fuel cost already sucks money from the build project. LOL
Mine is a 10hp L100 that I converted from a BAPU (24v charger) via a head swap.
I'm still researching inverters (every time I find one that has...
There's a fella who went 48v in his M1079 hab for setting up a mini-split to run on solar. Of course he has alternative power sources but it's pretty slick. I don't recall the specifics, but I think it's also Alex from ACELA.
Sort of along these lines...
I hate you ! ;p
Seriously, this is part of the equation for one option so it is important. Most owners are running the 100a alt, so an alt swap would be in order. And given the dual voltage Niehoffs do tend to fail (and are *grossly* underpowered for our trucks) swapping to a 24v and then...
Hmmm

I would like more info on the 260a Niehoff. There is so little out there on the A1R trucks (especially electrical) and I honestly had no idea it even came with the 260a until I got it home.
Yeah, I should have been more clear about swapping the alt. I think Sean Fulner was the first I ever saw mention it a couple years back but he went to a 200a Niehoff out of a HMMWV instead. That was when I snagged the Bussman, though. As I said, it was when I still had my 100a A0 (I'm the...
I follow. But the Fast Cooler box was like $1500 back in the day. No idea what they run these days. I'd love to have one for the full day runs down Padre to Port Mansfield jetties in the prerunner but not very practical. .
Still, I'm looking at AC options for the truck...not so much...
I actually have a Bussmann 21100E00 still in the box. I was going to install it as a balancer but I can get another one to run as a converter.
You have better ideas on this than I do. I haven't put much thought into the concept of this yet, but that is exactly why I picked up the Bussman...
Yes, we used run desert cars (I still own two prerunners). I'm quite familiar with the systems you refer to. We ran Fast Cooler suits years ago (nothing really inexpensive about the units). But it's absolutely not something I wish to invest in to drive my truck around town, to the beach, or...
Rgr that.
I've found them for $970.48 at one store, so +$220.
Glad you mentioned that because I searched for the commercial and Amazon dropped that part I see.
Chillers aren't all that effective in +80% humidity (year round except Feb which is our winter in S. TX). LOL
But yeah, I rode Harleys most of my life. Wet bandanas can safe your life in the heat!
So that total is $1312 for the 13500 BTU Dometic (add $70 for the 15000 BTU, but I suspect 13500 would be more than ample for the cab).
