Running roof ac while driving
I'm preparing to make a long trip and buying a travel trailer. It will be something a bit older like early 2000s and around 24ftish. I'd like to be able to have my dogs ride in the trailer while trave...

I am one of the few here that have actually set up a TT to do this. It CAN be done. But it won't be easy or cheap. And for most it won't be practical. If you cannot do the mods that are necessary yourself, it will be VERY expensive.
I installed a Onan Microquiet 4.0 using their underfloor mounting kit. I was wired with a ATF. I used about 45' of the thickest welding cable from it to the batteries. The genset was mounted just forward of the axles for best weight distribution. I installed a custom stainless steel 26 gallon gas tank for it. A fuel pressure regulator was used to prevent the carb from flooding from over pressure when climbing hills. A custom fire shield was installed.
All of this stuff required many hours of fabrication and a lot of welding.
It was a really slick setup, and was trouble free for over 1500 hours and many years until a lightening strike fried the genset.
I posted on threads about this with pics on this forum back then. If you are interested in more details, a search should turn it up.
It was before 2010, when I bought my present TT. I did not make this mod to it. Too much work, and the little Hondas do a fine job for me now.
