Yeah, could be. I dunno what the components cost. If the compressor was fried would it still have windings like a regular compressor? Being that the entire trailer was there, I'm hoping the evap, trailer itself, compressor, etc is what died.

depends on the reefer.. most used a direct driven-by-engine compressor and then electric fan motors for evaporator and condensor fans,, the compressor was bolted to the output shaft of the engine directly.. not belt driven.

That part I believe is the case. The big empty spot directly behind the motor had to be the compressor. Coils were up top. Seemed to be a shelf unit kinda thing. Engine and compressor down low. Radiator and condenser up high near the roof of the trailer. There was a fairly large tank that looked too big to be just a reservoir/radiator.

some of them were vertical where they mounted on the front side of a trailer and stood up vertically... others horizontal units that mounted on the top front corner of usually a box truck.. the reefer would overhang the cab.. that type would look like it is meant to sit on a shelf..

This was mounted to the trailer and was almost as tall as the trailer itself. Very thin profile as these things go.

Depending on how old it is Carrier uses Kubota and Thermo King uses Isuzu engines

Don't know if it was a Carrier even. There was a bus with a ceiling (not roof) Carrier. I didn't see any vents going outside on it. Was above the rear e-door and fit completely within the curve of the ceiling. Need to go back and check it out too.

It’s been awhile...
I was just curious as to where I might could find some photos of the OP’s final setup for securing the outdoor unit??
I believe I am in the same boat! I hope to find answers as some as possible. Same size unit I believe.
I don’t want to go underneath the bus but perhaps I could be convinced through pictures
