Ok Gents.
Ive looked this over, and it appears that most LMTV owners have all, or most of the parts, but not complete installs.
Short of owning a Cat store, it looks like the best way to avoid the pully/belt/compressor/set up is to just avoid it.
I found 12 volt compressor ran AC units, that run off existing batteries, OR a set of 4 that will run for 8-12 hours WITH THE ENGINE OFF. Now, this is a Chinese company, that DOES have suppliers here in the states that can get them for you around 3500.00 . Yep, that's what I said.
- I have 2 factories in China (unrelated industry) and I am going to order one direct, set it up, and test it on my LMTV 1086 and post the results. the cost direct will be closer to 1500.00USD.
just to reiterate, ALL YOU ARE INSTALLING is cabling, and the compressor to the back of the cab, and a control head on the inside of the cab.
I see that these are being used on Over the road tractors, with sleepers, so the LMTV SqFt should be no problem.
Ill be ordering today, and will keep you informed.
here are the specs of the unit:
VDC20D
