DC Air conditioner worth it?

Setting up the solar and batteries JUST to have A/C is impractical. Setting up your rig with solar and because of it being able to run a A/C is not. We do much more with the power than just run the A/C occasionally. We use it for cooking, water heating, cooling, TV/sat, etc, etc. it also is enough power and battery to keep us going for a week of bad weather while on the road.

So if you are installing solar and want to be able to do things, keep that in mind while you design it. even if someone says you can't,

Totally agree. Not everything is done for the practicality and certainly not RVing. These things are for the most part a hobby. Throwing a few grand at solving a cooling or at least a partial cooling problem in an RV would probably be kinda fun. The side benefits are complete independence of shore power when AC is not available. JMHO
