WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

I’ve had my Coolabah Joey installed in my 2019 Freightliner Coronado since the Joey was first released, making me one of the early adopters of the system. After around seven years of use, I can honestly say it has been a fantastic investment. The system has provided reliable heating and cooling, giving me more than 12 hours of climate control from the lithium battery system. This means I can comfortably sleep overnight without needing to leave the truck idling. Over the years, the system has operated fault-free, and I’ve been particularly impressed with the quality of the installation and the overall reliability of the unit. One feature I’ve found especially valuable is the jump-start function. Having that extra backup available gives me great peace of mind when I’m on the road. Just as importantly, the customer service and support from Coolabah have been second to none from day one. Whenever I’ve needed assistance, the team has been there to help.After seven years of use, I would highly recommend the Coolabah Joey to any driver looking for reliable, efficient heating and cooling for their truck cab. It has been a fantastic investment and has made a big difference to my comfort on the road.
