It comes with an espar air heater, instead of the generator making the heat to heat the cabin. The espars are very efficient. To keep the engine warm, the tripac is hooked up to the cooling system. All it has for power is 12 volts, 65 amps, which is 780 watts if you do the math. But it is REALLY efficient, only comes on when needed

But it is REALLY efficient, only comes on when needed

Yes, but you're talking about 12 VDC.
The thermoking produces ZERO 120 VAC. So you're restricted to a mere 780 watts with the tripac unit. Any more and you start draining batteries. The other 2 units produce their own 120 VAC, as well as 12 VDC.

Here is an article on them...I read it in a trucking magazine and just found it online as well.....the cummins unit had its warranty backed service interval changed from 500 hours up to 1000 hours...i am sure this will be a big selling point for it.
