Well guys this is it the biases of my D.I.Y Apu. I ended up buying this firman 2000 watt inverter generator as my main power unit ant this portable A/C unit. The Firman is a costco unit with 2000 watt running and 1600 watt continues inverter generator. the model number is W01682 and is on sale for $350.00 dollars at costco until April 4th and after that it is $450.00.
The portable A/C is a GE Model #APFD05JASWG1 that I got at lowe's for $300.00 dollars and it's a 5100 BTU unit. I'm hoping that this will be enough to keep my truck cool. I wouldn't go out and buy one yet until I can run my setup and let you guys know if it's a go or no-go. Thank you guys as always and stay safe..

GET HELP PLEASE!!
My Man!!!! I like it.
Hey, good job. I run with this set up. I ran with a piece of tarp and a barbecue grill cover strapped to my catwalk when it was outside and I was running. Stayed with that for two years without any problems till I upgraded to a box outside. 4 years in and going strong. Take care to maintenance at the correct intervals. I run the Predator 2000. If anything had happened to it during the warranty period I would be able to exchange at any Harbor Freight. Good luck to you, stay cool
Georgey I love your videos brother be safe out on the road love from Kentucky brother
Great video bro! Can’t wait to see how it all works out!
Never had much luck with single hose ac. Found dual hose works better. Guessing for a truck it will be ok. Fun video
This is god to see. It will be nice to se how you make it on the truck. Good luck
Great video Jorge. I love the ghetto APU. You probably be able to get a fitter cover made at a upholstery shop out of canvas or something for the generator if decide to mount it on the catwalk. Just an idea.
Looks like a great idea 💡💡🙂
Be careful with the exhaust fumes
Not sure if you have seen my video about this but it might help with some ways to setup the ac. I HIGHLY recommend making an ambient intake for the ac system to cool itself instead of sucking your cold air from the cab to cool they system and dumping it outside. The only difference between that gen, the Champion generator and other similar units is the fuel pump. None of them are designed to do what we do with them they just luckily work well for what we need. Sorry about the long comment. Good video sir.
Happy easter stay safe brother
Nice video man 👨👍
Im buying my first truck and am considering doing the same thing along with an idle smart unit. APUs in my experience are always breaking and I am not losing mu truck for apu repairs
I could set and listen to you all day brother. Be safe
Thanks for this video!
My only concern is the vapors from the gasoline filling your cab plus it will need to cool off prior to storing and make sure it can't tip over and spill gas out of the vent cap.
Hoping your dad is doing well George have a good year
i have same A/C but with harbor freight gen 2570 works great only down side is gas tank too small but this week ill install a five gallon tank.
Great video can't wait to see when you have it working 😀
New here but not new to transportation business✌️🤙
