A useful truck APU installation quote starts with your truck and how you use it. Before choosing an installation date in Houston or Dallas, prepare a short record of the truck, possible mounting space and the equipment you need in the sleeper. That helps turn the conversation into a proposal you can actually review.

1. Identify the truck and existing modifications
Share the make, model, year and cab configuration. Describe fuel tanks, storage boxes, steps, accessories or relocations from the original setup. If an APU is already installed, include its make and model and whether you want a replacement or a service assessment. “It is a highway truck” leaves too many questions unanswered.
2. Send photographs that explain the available space
Take overall views of both sides and a clear picture of the proposed mounting area. Include visible obstructions and sleeper access. If you already have safely obtained measurements, identify the measuring points and units. Do not remove parts or crawl beneath the truck to complete the record; the installer must verify the configuration.
The review should consider mounting, maintenance access and connection routing. The manufacturer’s specification sheet is a reference, but one published dimension does not establish that the complete installation will fit your truck. Ask the proposal to identify the specific model and configuration being quoted.
3. List the appliances and expected use
List sleeper heating and cooling, refrigerator, microwave, chargers and any other appliances. Share their electrical ratings when available and identify which you expect to use together. Starting demand matters as well as continuous consumption; a list of appliance names is not a load assessment.
Also describe your rest periods, usual climate and frequency of use. You do not need a savings promise to explain the requirement: “I sleep in the truck several nights each week and need these functions” is useful information. Actual conditions help select and explain a solution; they do not guarantee the same result for everyone.
4. Confirm where the work can be done
For a requested on-site installation in Dallas, first share the location, access and space conditions. Before confirming work there, we must establish that the location has the necessary capabilities and facilities. We also work with selected workshops that have the facilities for installation. The location and appointment are agreed after that review.
For Houston, also confirm the location and conditions applicable to your truck. Published mailing addresses for APU’s of Houston and APU’s of Dallas are not an invitation to arrive with the truck without an appointment. Confirm the service location with the team before moving the truck.
5. Review what the proposal includes
Ask for a clear description of the new or remanufactured equipment, included work, expected adaptations and items still requiring inspection. Confirm the expected work time and how a change in scope would be handled. Timing must relate to the truck being assessed; do not plan a load around a generic promise of installation hours.
If you need financing, ask us to review the alternatives for your situation. Understand the equipment and installation before comparing terms offered by individual providers. Start the discussion here: https://thetrucksavers.com/apu-finance
A short record you can copy into your quote request
Truck: make, model, year and cab. City and proposed work location. Existing APU, if any. Appliances and expected simultaneous use. Attached photographs and available measurements. Possible dates and operating requirements. Questions about new or remanufactured equipment, financing and maintenance. Mark unknown details “to be confirmed.”
Use that record to request a review from APU’s of Houston: https://apusofhouston.com/ or APU’s of Dallas: https://apusofdallas.com/ . For an explanation of how a truck APU works, read our guide: https://thetrucksavers.com/en/blog/go-green-apu-diesel-savings
