Product Highlights

The Fleet Owner's Problem: The "Necessary Evil" of A/C
You need to provide air conditioning to keep good drivers, but the options are painful. You can either idle your engines, burning over a gallon of fuel per hour and adding massive wear to your most expensive asset. Or, you can install a bulky rooftop unit, which means cutting a huge hole in your cab, compromising its structural integrity, and permanently damaging your truck's resale value.
Both options are expensive compromises that cost you money and create maintenance headaches.
There is a smarter way. The TRUCKCOOL TC-S1 is an advanced 12V split-system A/C engineered to deliver powerful cooling without the destructive installation, giving you all the benefits with none of the drawbacks.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about this product category.
💰 Why should I invest in a 12V parking A/C instead of just idling my engine?
This is the most important question, and the answer is simple: Return on Investment (ROI).
- Massive Fuel Savings: An idling truck burns about 1 gallon of diesel per hour. At 4−5/gallon,that′sover∗∗4−5/gallon,that′sover∗∗40 per 10-hour rest period**. Our A/C uses a tiny fraction of that in battery power, saving you thousands of dollars per truck, per year.
- Reduced Engine Wear: Every hour of idling is an hour of wear on your most expensive asset. A parking A/C eliminates thousands of hours of unnecessary engine runtime, extending engine life and reducing maintenance costs.
- Avoid Anti-Idling Fines: States like California have strict anti-idling laws with hefty fines. A no-idle A/C makes your fleet compliant and avoids costly tickets.
- Driver Retention: A quiet, cool, and comfortable cab is one of the top demands of professional drivers. Investing in their comfort is a direct investment in retaining your best talent.
🔋 What kind of battery setup do I really need for a full 8-10 hour night?
This is the key to a successful no-idle system. For a full DOT-mandated rest period, especially in warmer climates, we recommend the following for our 12V A/C units:
- Good: A minimum of 200Ah of dedicated LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries. This will work well in milder climates.
- Better (Recommended Standard): A 300Ah to 400Ah LiFePO4 battery bank. This is the "sweet spot" that provides reliable, all-night comfort in most US climates without causing battery anxiety.
- Best (For Hot Climates): A 400Ah+ LiFePO4 battery bank. If your routes are in Texas, Arizona, or Florida, this larger capacity ensures the A/C can run as hard as it needs to all night long with power to spare.
🛠️ What kind of maintenance is required?
Our parking A/C units are designed to be low-maintenance, but a little care goes a long way to ensure peak performance.
- Monthly Check: In a dusty environment, it's a good idea to clean the outdoor unit's condenser coils. Simply use compressed air to blow out any dust or debris. This ensures the unit can "breathe" properly and cool efficiently.
- Indoor Filter: Check and clean the indoor unit's air filter periodically.
- Annual Check: Before the summer season, it's good practice to power on the unit, check for strong airflow, and ensure all connections are tight.
