Truck AC

Type: component
PROBLEM

Sleeping in a hot truck cab in summer requires running the engine all night, which burns fuel and makes noise and exhaust.

SOLUTION

The Truck AC is a pole-mounted compact split-system air conditioning unit consisting of an outdoor condenser module clamped to the Truck Pot upper body and a flexible insulated supply hose with a magnetic window-mount adapter that seals to the driver-side window of a standard truck cab without tools, creating a conditioned air feed into the sleeping space without requiring the engine to run. The system is rated at 8,000 BTU per hour, sufficient to cool a standard truck cab sleeping area to a comfortable temperature in ambient conditions up to 42 degrees Celsius. Power draw is 750 watts from the Truck Pot power hub, which in the Pro configuration pulls first from battery credit before grid. The window adapter comes in three widths covering the glass measurement range of 95 percent of North American truck models sold after 1998 and uses a foam compression seal that leaves no marks on the glass. The hose is 3 meters long. Drivers who have slept in a hot cab in August know why this component exists. Everyone else can guess.
