How much is it

[@alanclarke5979]

Handy tip - if your alternator ever fails you can run them to finish your run and get to a workshop....well on all the ones we run in Australia anyway, also if you have flat batteries there is normally still enough to start the little motor and it'll charge you till you can start, there awesome things to have no matter what your doing 👌

[@stevenredman1582]

We had ThermoKing APUs at Walmart. There was an on-off switch on the dash. The APU would fire up when you shut the ignition key off. That was handy when doing drop and hooks at a store or DC on a hot day. Of course, with the TK switch off, it remained off for when you went home or didn't need air conditioning or heat. So I'm sold on APUs and your presentation of Green APU is a great introduction to their product.

[@larrycarothersjr3127]

I have to say ive had my green for about three months and i absolutely love it. It kept my old 60 series about 100 degrees when it get sub zero temps. Keep the batteries charged and engine warm in the winter.

[@davida.p.9911]

Those Kubotas are some of the most reliable engines made. I've used Kubota tractors for several years now (same engine basically) and have had excellent service from them. Great choice!! 👍👍👍

[@jonnyhung2576]

I disagree... Not a fan of kubota at all. Engines lose serious power after about 1000 hours at least on heavy equipment. Yanmar and Kohler diesels will run circles around a kubota... Kubota is like fake stacks... Look great but do nothing!

[@ch-ir8ld]

On a semi tractor apu is the way to go. If i had say a sprinter van that i was converting to a motorhome I'd go solar with LFP batteries and solar panels on the roof with an auxiliary alternator.

[@tsimmons1974ts]

Hey Bruce get the guys at semi casual to put a 150 on the driver side and move the def tank behind the fuel tank and painted blue to match the auxiliary power unit plus you will get some extra few capacity.

[@Bruce_Wilson]

How’s you know all of my plans

[@robertletkeman790]

One thing I would recommend is adding a real muffler and an exhaust pipe to the end of the frame. The only thing worse then a truck or reefer running while you’re trying to sleep is an APU farting beside your head. I enjoy my battery operated system. Makes almost no noise. Good for and the neighbour.

BW - are you going to paint the AGAPU the same color as your frame? This has been a great series on your new truck build! Cheers, Doc

[@dennymcclain1579]

I’ve had 2 trucks with Carrier APU and drove for a company with thermo king APU. Both have goods and bad points. A comment was made that if your alternator goes bad you can run with the APU running and continue home. Green APU will not do that it’s alternator isn’t big enough. With my APU running and below zero I have my block heater plugged into the 110v supply and my block temp is at 115 degree temp. And a lack of service centers if you think a flying J has dirty bathrooms you want them to work on your stuff no way.

[@dracer555]

Surprised how loud it is. But a great investment for sure. I’m not a trucker but I’d have thought it would be quieter. Seems it would be annoying while trying to sleep. But neat how it works anyway. Maybe they make a quieter muffler for it.

[@outcastsociety8513]

@@realredditstories420 I'd bet the apu is louder than his engine. I got a TK APU and u cant tell its on without your hand on the thing. The Green apu is much louder. I will say the inside Auto controller is nice. but considering how big technology is i wouldve figured they had a nicer design.

[@Blackjack_focus_st3]

Hell ya... another video brotha... super excited to see you haul some big loads with that girl... the truck is so beautiful.... you should re route the air and electric hoses for the trailer near the frame... low profile and wire your trailer accordingly if needed...

[@Themiddleman416]

Done the same way as a Webasto 🤷🏻‍♂️ I've never smelt the exhaust.

[@JP-ou8yb]

@@Themiddleman416 It is not the smell of diesel it is the lack of odor from carbon monoxide exhaust build up under the sleeper while the trucks not moving that I worry about I also believe it would be less noisy if piped out high like the stacks. JMO.

[@uliwehner]

@@JP-ou8yb carbon monoxide is heavier than air, so it should really not come into the truck. They do sell CO detectors, though. easy enough for piece of mind. Also: the real engine has a grass burner exhaust in the same place. I bet it pumps out way more CO. just saying

[@outcastsociety8513]

@@uliwehner a few things wrong in your reply. why in a fire do people tell u to be close to the ground? and also the real engine has a DPF system, u can actually breathe the exhust trust me im a mechanic and i have to be close to those burners. But yes a CO detector is the best move

[@outcastsociety8513]

it is noisy especially compared to a taken care of thermo king. My TK u cant tell its running until u are in front of it with your hand on it. And yeah i dont like the exhuast being so close to the ground. TK puts them on the side away from the truck just better IMO. I dont wanna work on one of these Green Apu's it seems like certain things are gonna be a pain in the A$ do replace, AND NO im not talking about the engine.

[@keithfrazier2558]

ART logistics trailers sitting there. Good people. Used to see them all the time years ago coming out of Chicago area.

[@brotheradam]

biggest upgrade they need to try to make for future is a powerwall setup or bigger battery banks that can reduce the need for the Kubota if you are in a place that says NO Idling Whatsoever, or in California..lol.. Powerwall could be hidden between frame rail with Diamond Plate over it possibly..

Nice the green APU is cool stuff saves on fuel saves wear and tear on your truck 👍🏼

[@mikefitzpatrick5209]

nice unit, great video thanks for sharing. question, what is the fuel consumption to keep everything going as if you were idling. compared to big engine idling? I think I have heard in the past from other truckers big engine idling 8 hours is 1 gallon of fuel.

A lot more than 1 gallon

[@johnforster5312]

It's interesting seeing the differences between US and Australian trucks. Here in Aus, we have diesel powered air conditioning units on trucks to keep the sleeper cool overnight rather than for heating. It rarely gets cold enough overnight here to need to run the engine overnight for heating.

[@Themiddleman416]

We have the litterally the opposite here in Canada. More diesel heaters than we have APU systems. These are around $15,000 to install so most companies won't get them.
