Has anybody boondocking adopted this techno to there RV to have cold air in summer and heat in winter 24/7 while using solar?

6000 BTU, bedroom cooling to sleep
12v 28amps 340watts
that means 8hr of cooling uses almost 240ampHrs
approx 60% of a 4Gc in series-parallel
but 500w of solar would probably run it during the daytime
but you need to have more than that to recharge the power used during the night
still its only a little above 1/4 of the power the OP was talking about 10amps*120v 1200w
340w for 6000btu cooling, very efficient
(2) of those would be 12000btu and use less than 2/3 the power of a RV roof top unit
still quite a feat to do with only solar and batteries
you can get enough solar on the roof to run A/C part of the time during the day
its running day and night 24hrs that becomes a logistics problem of returning power to batteries while keeping the A/C running at the same time
