How To Install the Zero Breeze Portable A/C Unit in a Pick Up Truck to Sleep Cool on the Road

[@zrx338]

January 2023 at the first MACC securement class, I asked Macc how he did not sleep without AC. Glad to see you came around to my way of thinking! LOL

[@HotshotMacc]

🤣🤣🤣 I remember that!! I was tryna act like I didn’t need but man I’m tired of sleeping naked with a fan and sweating LOL! I’m just grateful to have this in the truck now!

[@zrx338]

Awesome! I am glad that the AC is working! Its hard as hell out there already so you owe to yourself to sleep comfortably! @@HotshotMacc

[@HotshotMacc]

@@zrx338 You absolutely right man! Its well deserved!

[@chrisnichols8847]

I used to do this inb18 wheelers and we had to separate that exhaust and intake hose. Because it would cause high head pressure on ac unit cause intake was sucking up that hot air thats exhausting out. Just food for thought

[@HotshotMacc]

Great tip! I appreciate that!

[@lenpellerin]

What up MACC? Can you do a 1 year review/update on the AC Install and the pros and cons of the unit overall. What would you do different (if anything)? Keep up the awesome content bro.

[@HotshotMacc]

What up brother! Thats actually a great idea. I will try to do one soon in the near future. Thanks for the support 🙏🏽🫡

[@justinbohall3860]

This is legit. I want to look into one of these. Good job on the install as well!

[@PatrickDcoldest]

Where did you get the bed from??

[@novavroomvroom3435]

Just a suggestion, make a screen out of wire mesh to keep criters and things from getting sucked in ... use sreens on both tubes... I see in the comments people suggesting useng a filter... I wouldn't do that because it restricts air flow and will affect the efficiency of the unit by restricting airflow and causing the compressor to work harder and destroying the life of the compressor....

[@disarmyou84]

What do you do for heat in the winter

[@HotshotMacc]

Bundle up and have a 20 degree sleeping bag. Ive heard of guys using propane heaters but I haven’t yet

[@everardogomez80]

Gota install a diesel heater and pull this ac out. U have the vent outs already just gota tap into ur diesel tank and your solid man!

[@branchristie8252]

I see you in Martin county Florida about 7 months ago

[@HotshotMacc]

Ayyeee Florida is home 🙏🏽🫡💯

[@Keezyfindz2017]

How do you recharge the battery? On sleep mode it only gives you about 6hrs, maybe 6.5. Can you use it at anytime? Example, while waiting to get unloaded or unloaded.

[@HotshotMacc]

I recharge the battery using a 1000 watt inverter when I’m driving. And yes those are the hours you’ll get on sleep mode. You can definitely use it anytime but during the day, depending on the outside temps it may be harder to cool down below 70

[@SageRosado]

As spring and summer approaches and climate is raising. Truthfully, how is the Zero breeze AC unit performing? Weighing my options for my truck set up.

[@HotshotMacc]

As spring and summer approach, the Zero Breeze AC unit has been performing well. Stay tuned for my upcoming review video where I'll share more details. Make sure to turn on your notifications so you don't miss it!

[@SageRosado]

@@HotshotMacc Thanks for the response. I'll definitely stay tuned in for your update.

[@tg9388]

Thanks so much I’ve been struggling trying to get my air condition set up in the dually using a generator but this is an amazing set up. I’m just wondering are you able to charge that while you’re driving so that you always have it charged up at night?

[@HotshotMacc]

You can charge the battery while your driving with an inverter. If you watch my previous videos you’ll the the kind I’m using to charge. But it’s definitely convenient bro!

[@rudyhomeboy]

So what about the fumes from other trucks or the rain.

[@HotshotMacc]

Would be the same if the vents went out the window. It’s not a big deal, just have to clean the filters often

[@josemoya250]

Steven gets crazy with them tools Tim … He is very Creative man … I see you Tim with the drill going in .. 😂😂😂 so glad you man no more heat no more running the truck 🛻… it pays for it self with the truck getting rest and no idling …🙏🏻🫡🫡🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴

[@japooki5089]

What’s the best lab top to get for trucking on the road for looking up loads and doing all the office work on lab top. Thanks

[@HotshotMacc]

Man any laptop you can get your hands on that’s within your budget. We like the MacBook pro or even an iPad if it’s for the road. You wanna get something you can mount. But you also don’t want to be looking on the load boards while driving so maybe consider hiring a dispatcher if it’s just you running the business

[@japooki5089]

Appreciate it big dog. Yeah I think I’m going to get the Mac laptop. It’s called a m2 air. Can’t afford the pro. I hope the m2 air will be good enough to look up loads on load boards

[@jamesbackwards415]

Nice video on the AC unit though

Thanks!

[@chrisnichols8847]

Nice work

[@HotshotMacc]

Thanks!

[@abmtz8537]

This is a neat little unit but $1,200+ for the unit and battery makes it hard to justify for the price. It’s also crazy how in the world of ac units the lower the btu the more expensive it is. It almost makes me want to quit hotshot and manufacture my own portable ac units to sell to other drivers at half the price 😅

[@HotshotMacc]

Seriously, right? It’s like the smaller the AC unit, the more they think it’s worth its weight in gold. If you end up starting your own portable AC empire, just remember us little guys who were sweating it out with overpriced units. You might just save us all from these crazy prices

[@abmtz8537]

@@HotshotMacc I guess the portability and the fact that you won’t idle your truck as much helps justify the price. But to put it into perspective I just bought a midea u-shaped 8000 btu window unit for my office for $300 at Walmart. I just don’t know how every one at zero breeze agreed that $1.2k was a good price.

[@jacksongregory6043]

Hay Tim this Jackson are you guys needing a noncdl driver

[@HotshotMacc]

What up Jackson. Unfortunately we are only working with CDL for right now bro.

[@Christianinpines]

Heres a question, I haven't seen any videos on what Hot shot drivers are carrying for protection lethal or non lethal ? With how violent inner cities are getting nowadays has any Hotshot drivers ran into being confronted by criminals?

[@HotshotMacc]

A lot of people carry protection, it’s all based on preferences . I just don’t think it’s something to announce in social media.

[@trevey16]

Hotshottin seem fun bro lol them big ass pickup trucks😂but i got a question, i got a f250. I want hubcaps that stick out like yo Ram hubcaps. Where can i find hubcaps like that? With spikes maybe

[@HotshotMacc]

I can be fun bro but it can also be a headache lol. I’m sure you can find the spikes for the lug nuts on Amazon but I’m not sure about the entire hub caps

[@trevey16]

@@HotshotMacc yea I couldnt. But I been thinkin even harder bout hotshottin. Might go test drive a 5500 Monday

[@jamesbackwards415]

My brutha you need some wood clamps when cutting that wood with the circular saw to keep them hands away from the blade

[@HotshotMacc]

We from the islands bro so we do things a bit risky but you absolutely right lol

[@roybertvila8171]

Why not use the truck ac ?

[@HotshotMacc]

Idling the truck all night is no good for the truck. Causes problems if your truck isn’t deleted

[@doncgez1673]

Oh, that is a great idea but y’all work too hard for me , I see four screws on their plate. Could you have just taken it out and use ABS plastic to replace the plate. Use some weatherstrip or Sillent.

[@sjeffreyw]

I thought you got out of the business.

[@HotshotMacc]

What made you think that?

[@alfonsogonzalez6412]

Next install use a hole saw bro don't be a butcher😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣 worked with what we had bro and made it work 😎

[@alfonsogonzalez6412]

@@HotshotMacc was joking Tim just got to make it happen with what u got in hand keep it up bro u get that a/c u it in store or online starting cost may be little high but in the long run is cheaper than running a Gen set.

[@UserYoutube-i6f]

Go home depot buy a circle head 😂 and damn sucking the dirty air underneath the truck🥴at least do some air filter inside tube

[@danny.b]

This business is a race straight to the bottom with these rates and sky high insurance - especially with those shitty ram trucks that break down all the time. I know the video was posted a year ago so the business was a little bit better, but I wouldn't be surprised if you are out of business! Good luck

[@HotshotMacc]

I get where you're coming from. The rates and insurance costs can definitely be tough, but it's all about adapting and finding the right balance. The truck issues can be a challenge too, but we stay on top of maintenance. We're still in business, buddy, and we’re not going anywhere. If you're running a one-man show, yeah, that could be a reason things didn’t work out. Appreciate the thoughts, and good luck to you as well
