Very clear and concise instruction of a trash system. Motorized APU or constant truck engine idle is the only thing that works sufficiently to stay cool in hot weather. Battery APU is ok if it's "warm", if it's "hot", it is no longer sufficient. Opti-Idle is the cheap way of trying to meet state idling mandates and save fuel. It's a FU to the driver.
I’ve had it for a year now it sucks when the engine starts and stops at 9k rpm once or twice an hour I get so aggravated I just turn it off and roll the windows down after dark
Agreed.. I drive for CR you know who and interior comfort mode isn’t selectable in the ‘24 Cascadia they put me in and all they complain about is using the EPU to reduce idle time.. I drive in the Central Valley and SoCal on a dedicated at night and have to sleep during the day.. All the auxiliary “cooler” does is reheat the cab once you put it in Optimized Idle and it shuts off 🙃
I have an issue when i set up idle to interior comfort the sleeper stock at hot or cold also it start front fan too it doesn't matter front fans is on the off or on position i don't know how i figure out, and its 2025 freightliner cascadia.
I'm having a problem. It's 37F outside and with optimize idle on all vents blow freezing cold air constantly despite both the dash and bunk temp knobs set to max heat. If I have the bunk heater on it automatically turns off when enabling opti idle and blows cold air. So far it's looking to be worthless for me with it constantly trying to freeze me to death
Thanks man, hopefully i can keep the power on. I hate when everything shuts down and nothing is charging or the tv wont work. I hope this works and thanks for the quick guide.

Having the same problem
This is happening to me as well idk it’s frustrating
Happens to me too still even in 24
It's 11 outside and mine is running the ac
@LarryB there has to be a way to stop it still in the same boat myself. It's 1 degree here
Thanks man, hopefully i can keep the power on. I hate when everything shuts down and nothing is charging or the tv wont work. I hope this works and thanks for the quick guide.
I wish Volvo had this feature too. But freightliner took long way to come up this nice. I may buy freightliner next time.
hi sir, my truck is 2021 model, I set battery mode, and drop down 12.2 will start, but non stop always run, do you think any problems?
Thank you!
Helpful 🎉❤

What if there isn't an espar heater?
Why do I keep getting a no flame after I get out of the shop?

Why my inverter keeps tripping
Great
Ok my sleeper ac is 🥵
drove two trucks with the same features.. on both trucks inverter broke.. you could do it better - freightliner!
Craptimized Idle.
Stays on for 2 minutes then cut off
It is on and off. Once battery is low, they start running again.
