My main living quarters is in the truck sleeper. It's a newer model Peterbilt, that has a factory installed TV mount. The factory installed "smart air" system is sub par at best. It is a 12vDC mini split of sorts. It has a remote mount condenser with fan etc. So I have been considering a small 110vAC mini split that would run either on the generator when boon docking, or on grid at a park. I'm a weekend warrior, not a full timer. Looking around I can find 9k btu units everywhere, and a few 6k btu units which is plenty, but i need reasonable quality to take the abuse of driving mobile. Most of the small units that list weights, show about 25lbs for the evaporator unit inside. I don't own any TV and can not seem to find much on the weights of a TV that one would usually mount on a TV arm style mount. Some flat screen 32" show about 25 to 30lbs shipping weight. What are your thoughts on a modern truck sleeper frame work supporting a 25lb mini split inside unit? I can remove the arm part and mount it closer to the wall using the mounting frame of the sleeper if needed. -

IMO a large part of the reason is Escapees doesn't promote this board with the anywhere near same enthusiasm they have for their Facebook groups, including one for new RVers. All of their Facebook groups get daily updates and promotions. They don't do the same for this Forum. It's rarely mentioned at all and never mentioned on Facebook. The reason is probably the numbers - Escapees Facebook group has 9100 members. Xscapers has 16,000 members and the newcomers group RV to Freedom has 41,000 members. Every time Escapees posts an update it's seen by all the people who've joined that group the next time they sign into Facebook. -
I remember Steve’s rig wish I had more pictures. Thanks -
It's a link to a Facebook outside link to the National HDT Page. This is where it goes: https://nationalhdtrally.org/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR36AVzp4AymtAXDtxwcy7qRIonWWEeYQwDHi3GE92Q0VsySa_GDvYx7tko_aem_Aav8gL13pbO-E7cpWNoTYbxS5OavSrDgHuRll4FuTkrgQLN20Ftt-zqXrE3X6_WTKISprS0vC5jM0aISPFpV456h
