They have very impressive air conditioner performance. It is I fear too good to be true. I'd want to verify the performance and see independent lab data before I spent any money.

I'll bet that little single diesel is sooooo noisy! That's gotta be a Chinese engine. Otherwise they'd mention the brand of engine. You could build a similar unit with an American or Jap engine and a used Delcotron. Looks like an automotive alternator attached to a very small diesel (?) engine. Divide by half any output or HP rating when dealing with Chinese product. That sort of lawn mower engine driving an automotive alternator is used by "Greens" that live off-grid. It'll operate a small inverter or charge batteries.
IF it is a Chinese engine...I wouldn't touch it. You very likely will not find parts for the thing. The Chinese don't supply parts...the importer/distributor supplies parts by breaking down units. There may be some parts avail for a short time, but once the design changes, that's it. Chinese products should be treated as "disposable" items.
That said, often the units are so cheap, that throwaway is OK.
The genset page is hard to decipher. They describe what appears to be a genset head, at the bottom. The generators at the top are two different units and are not related to the description. The smallish one at the left wouldn't be useful for anything related to a bus...?? Of course, it would do whatever it is that it doesn't do very well for a week on a fill up! ;)
Now about those ACs......if they are Chinese.... :P :D :D
Jon, you get one of those things and bring to the Palmetto Cove show-and-tell! We'll have a good time! ;D
Now, let me tell you what I really think about Chinese products.... >:(
Buy AMERICAN made! JR 8)

Be careful what you say about the Chinese. If they get that "jump off a chair at the same time" thingy we are all in trouble. :D
