Trailer Air Conditioning Units

In the summer time it gets hot and like we said this is our hanger where ever it happens to be sitting at the time.

We installed these units salvaged from a work truck we took out of service in our business. We could have pulled this off with one unit but with two it only takes about 20 minutes to get the interior of the trailer livable even on the hottest of days.

Unit wise we've had much better luck with the Duo-Therm unit than we have with the Coleman unit. The Coleman Unit also seems to take alot more power but at the same time seems to put out more air flow. All that aside if we end up having to purchase another unit in the future it will be a Duo-Therm.

The Duo-Therm unit also has an optimal heating element installed. It provides just enough heat to keep the interior of the trailer from hitting the freezing point in the winter. It seems to be able to raise the inside temps about 15 degrees above ambient exterior temperatures in about 2 hours but we've only used it at or around 20 to 35 degrees so far.
