Hi,
Solar air conditioning is a reality now--but it does not come cheaply.
Best to park some where that has power and get a hybrid inverter/charger, such as the ones from Magnum, Outback, and Victron.
To do solar air:
1. move to a 24 or 48 volt LI battery bank
2. install 1600 watts of solar with a top of the line charge controller.
3. add a DC to DC converter for the (minimal) 12 volt needs of the RV.
I'm afraid that's way out of my league on this build. My plans with solar here are lighting and refrigerator, maybe my laptop. I only want to run the generator if I absolutely have to.
