All good accept you need to push ac from inside out, that way it will take original position and tilted down. It will never fall off,You don't have to cut metal brackets. 1. Cut the hole with template 2. Stick Ac from inside all the way till it stops against metal brackets 3. Screw it down 4.Seal 5.Connect 6. Enjoy👍 Overall pretty good for dyi
man really good job my bunk ac is broken and i have 3500w generator and inverter in truck so i wanted a window ac but was worried about cutting metal of truck and messing up dimensions after seeing you do it, i will do it this weekend and do it properly. did you put silicone or something from outside as well? also, does that support thing hold during drives and bumpy roads, hills, hard braking ?
@@bkmninja6882 just buy yourself an inverter generator at Harbor Freight. That well work get a 3500watts and u well be fine. you can put feel once every 2 days and you don't got to worry about turning on your truck and charging up your batteries
@@supremekingjesus425 I added a generator to the truck now. It does a great job with the ac. I did a video on it after I added to the truck. Thankz tho
Nice cut out job, that looks like a nice fit! I'm just worried that those air conditioners Were Meant to go in a window and not be bounced around all over the roads, I'm afraid of might only last a couple of weeks before it breaks
Hi. Good job you did. May I ask what power source you used for that AC, an inverter? If so what brand and how many voltages? And if so why not use a generator to keep from draining from your batteries? Thanks You.
Next time use clear silicone and hvac foil tape but you did decent job for DYI I can’t compare to how I would have done it because I’m engineer and love to weld Roll Tide 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Good video. I like the intro. Check out mines. I have a mini-split a/c. I started off with a 7000 btu portable like the one you was using too. Are you powering your a/c with your truck? If so you should get a generator.
They do Jill. I had my fix when it was cold and it mess up 2 weeks later. Cost me 1300.00 So I wasn't spending all that again. So this was the cheapest way. And these trucks are bad for having ac problems
D.o.t. doesn't look at a/c modifications....they look at brakes/lights/mechanical/windshield/suspension/tires/wipers/5th wheel/frame/engine/mirrors/wipers.......he can set up a sound system, run interior l.e.d.s, out in a waterbed...d.o.t. won't care ....make sense ?
@@bkmninja6882 hey man my ac in the sleeper is not working only the front do you drive with that portable unit of ur invertor? if so has DOT said anything? and does it work good, i got like a 2000watt inverter , im wondering if i could do that. or maybe connect the hose to the sleeper window. i have one of those that are not real windows just a cover on the sleeper which you can push to either side. do u have any ideas on what i could do? i bought a 3600 watt generator, and a 5000 btu window ac kinda like urs. but i was thinking on the portable one while driving, since i dont have a back window, and we cant cut the back of the truck haha.
@@TryMeFoolYT I run mines all the time. My AC doesn't work in the truck. I'm running A 3000 watt inverter when I'm driving and a 4400 generator when I'm park. Never had a problem so far with DOT saying anything about it when I've gotten DOT
I think you did a great job and I’m gonna do the same to my truck! Thanks for the video!
Get a mini split.

Thankz 👍
Best idea ever ! I’m gonna try this too!
Thank for the video, I learned few things from it.
Next time u put the ac from the inside out .
Lol good tip
Going to do the same,,thanks for the Video,,Learned a few things from Commentors. Thanks again.
Thank you. Your Welcome
How has this set up held up over time? And AC issues from the weather and vibration of a truck?
man really good job
my bunk ac is broken and i have 3500w generator and inverter in truck
so i wanted a window ac but was worried about cutting metal of truck and messing up dimensions
after seeing you do it, i will do it this weekend and do it properly. did you put silicone or something from outside as well?

Yes didnt have a problem out of it. Use Flex seal product. You won't have any leaks
Thanks brother!
No more expensive APUs.....we all going portable Acs. Bye bye Apu!
Please post more videos tell us if you still using the same setup,,, thank you
❤️ u from india, kerala❤️🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏
The house appliances will work but not as long as truck battery AC system. 6+ months and they'll get dystroyed from vibrations.
Ok thanks for info
Nothing gonna be

I did the same thing on my truck but two weeks later the vibration mess up the ac compresor line .
Great video

I had got 3 years out my 1st one. It was no bouncing
They'll usually be fine, if not pitch it and get another, they are dirt cheap.
Thank you your vedio
Thanks for the video. What kind of batteries you use?
I'm running a generator when I'm parked. When I'm driving I'm running a 3000 watt inverter
@@bkmninja6882 how many watts is the generator that u use?
Good 👍job rolllllll tide
Did you run the AC all the time or just when you sleep? Thanks
I run it all the time because the truck ac is broke
Hi. Good job you did. May I ask what power source you used for that AC, an inverter? If so what brand and how many voltages? And if so why not use a generator to keep from draining from your batteries? Thanks You.
I use a 3000 watt inverter. And I just added a generator. I just a video on it last week. Adding the generator
Hey, did that 3000 watt inverter work good?
You could use a mini split they are very efficient as energy wise. A LG or pioneer 9000btu will use less than half what that window ac needs to run .
Ok thankz for the info. I will look into it
I will do mine shortly. I'll keep you posted
Next time use clear silicone and hvac foil tape but you did decent job for DYI

Roll Tide 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Thankz RTRB4L!!!!💪🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Hello I did that but it’s still hot inside my cab
You do know you could have install a mini split unit because it will use less power
Any idea on how many watts your truck alternator is putting out?wondering if keep batteries charged while truck is idling?
Yes had no problem with it
Looks like that's going to work pretty good, just need to have something UNC inside too 😆
Lol it's working just fine Bro with all that Crimson on it 😂😂😂😂
Yo man can you install mine for me? I’m pay overtime on a weekend.
Apu better than those

Yes I have a 3000 watt inverter and a generator when I'm park
What did you use to cut the hole. I want to do the same thing.
I use a grinder with a metal cutting saw blade. Cause there is some metal behind the fiberglass wall
@@bkmninja6882 Hows the AC and generator combo been working out now?
@@joeh8175 been working out great. I had no problems so far
@@bkmninja6882 how did you mount the support bracket on the truck and ac?
@@joeh8175 it has 2 braces inside holding it and 2 outside
Do you keep the ac in during the winter? I want to do the same but I'm worry about winter
Yes I keep it in for the winter. I just put a a.c. outside cover over it for the winter. You can buy them at Walmart
Hw that ac going
I’m thinking about doing the same
It's working out great. Havnt had any trouble with it yet
I thought them rigs come with AC ??
They do Jill. I had my fix when it was cold and it mess up 2 weeks later. Cost me 1300.00 So I wasn't spending all that again. So this was the cheapest way. And these trucks are bad for having ac problems
All I have to say is roll tide live in Texas raised in Livingston
Roll tide
Is this legal? Does DOT give you a hard time with inspections?
Never had a problem with DOT saying anything about it.

How many hours your ac will run just battery pack
It's not battery pack its running off my inverter and when I'm park my generator
