Park Smart

 

  Hello everyone, I am loading in  Charlotte, NC. today. The temperature is in the nineties today and the sun is shining brightly. The Park Smart HVAC system will normally keep the cab cool without pulling the sleeper curtains shut. Today, for the first time, I have exceeded the HVAC systems capabilities. I pulled the insulated curtains that separate the sleeper from the driving compartment for the first time. After pulling the curtains shut, the Park Smart HVAC system was able to keep the sleeper area cool. The HVAC system could not keep up due to the fact I was trying to cool the cab and sleeper areas . The Park Smart HVAC system is not intended to be an APU. However, if it’s used as designed for only cooling the sleeper, it works very well.

Thanks and have a great day,

Henry
