You don't change out the fixture, just the incandescent bulb in side. I saw someone picked up a 10 pack for $23 off of amazon a few days ago.
How big is the air conditioner? That will decide how big of a generator you need. The least expensive reputable quieter set up would be a pair of Champion 2000w inverter generators that can be paralleled together for a grand or less. There are other options with a single inverter generator but they can be near as loud as my 3500/4000 open frame. It works for us because we rarely need AC at high altitude, rarely camp around others and with the solar doing the charging, it truly is the quietest around since it never runs.
Our last trip had a few cold and rainy days. We didn't conserve even though the panel was putting out minimal power, in fact we used more than usual. Luckily the sun came out the third day or I would have been thinking of a alternate means of charging. This year we have upgraded the solar to 490w, will use our full bank of 345 ah and with a 3000w inverter can use the microwave, a hair dryer and a satellite system for the TV too.
