INSTALLATION:

T he LifeForce Dynapac-LP has been designed for a
plug-n-play installation.  No APU can be installed, or removed
in less time.  At less than 200 lbs, no specialty lift equipment
is necessary and because of it's smaller size and weight, it
can be positioned in more places on the truck.  Mounted on
the depth axis, the frame space width required is 21 inches.  
In many cases, it will also fit between the frame rails behind
the cab.  Two small penetrations are made in the floor of the
cab for wire pass-throughs.  AC installations vary -
depending on the model selected and the configuration of
the truck they are being installed in.  Please call for specifics.
The installation causes no significant damage to the truck that cannot be easily repaired.  When the APU is
removed, the minor repairs necessary can be done in minutes by almost anyone.  So you have the option to
either leave the APU with the truck when it is re-sold, install it on a new vehicle you buy, or refresh it and sell
it to another trucker.   

Optional portable AC units are available that require no installation whatsoever.  These work especially well in
the larger, wider cabs, where space is not as much of an issue.  The portable units can be moved anywhere
within the cab, but they work best when positioned near the front seats - facing to the rear.   When in use, the
exhaust hose is rolled up into one of the windows.  With no ducting, these units cool extremely well.  

Propane fired or ceramic heaters are available.  The ceramic units are portable, so they can be positioned
almost anywhere in the truck.
