Why Choose A Backwall AC Unit?
An AC unit in your truck or HD vehicle can make all the difference when operating in extreme temperatures. You may wonder whether a rooftop or backwall (interior) mounted unit is best.
The answer usually comes down to the type of vehicle you have. Most will have a preferred mounting location that provides the necessary bracing and support for an AC install. If your vehicle allows for either a rooftop or interior mounting point, then knowing a bit about each type will make your decision much easier.
Rooftop AC units work well when cabin space is at a premium. But they weigh more than backwall units and tend to be pricier. For more info, read our blog on rooftop AC units here.
Backwall AC units offer great value, a compact design, and installation flexibility. Take a look at more interior-mounted AC benefits below:
- Lower costs – Backwall units usually cost less than rooftop-mounted AC units
- Plenty of flexibility - Interior units can be mounted in many types of vehicles
- Light design – An interior AC is lighter than a rooftop-mounted unit
- Less prone to damage – Mounting an AC unit inside prevents it from getting damaged by the elements
