OP, you mention 2000 watts of solar and LFP batteries. We have 1600 watts of solar and 1030 ah of LFP batteries. The last time we boondocked, we ran the A/C for 5 hours (standard rooftop A/C with heat pump)(and soft start).
1600 watts of solar (with good sunshine) will provide well over half of the amp draw for a standard A/C. So with your planned 2000 watts of solar, the solar panels should provide nearly all the amps that the standard RV factory A/C unit draws.
We have run 2 A/C units before, but when the one without soft start starts, my satellite receiver goes into start up - TV stays on, res fridge also doesn't appear to have any hiccups.
