I wish RV A/C was more efficient
But none of that changes the physics of solar and batteries, electrical creation
10 amps 120v is is 1200 Watts aka approx 100 amps of battery draw to the inverter, didn't make any difference what type of device is drawing that 1200w
The OP saw amps, and thought solar would run it
He didn't realize it's all about Watts amps times volts is Watts
He needs at least ten times the power he thought he needed
10 amp 120v =1200 Watts
100 amps 12v = 1200 Watts
