AC on a battery bank......Will need a trailer for all the batteries and whole bunch of solar panels.....I'm not aware of anyone running AC on a battery bank in an RV ( for any usable amount of time).....Can someone prove me wrong as I'd like to see how they did it.
We did it this weekend at the Northwest Overland Rally. Our 6000 BTU air conditioner is small, but kept the inside of our camper at 79 degrees from 10am to 5pm while everyone in tents died in the 105 degree sun. It ran purely off of solar during that time period (actually put a few amps back into the battery bank).
Solar is 1080 watts
Controller is a Midnite Classic 150
Battery bank is 24V made up of two Lifeline 12V 125AH AGM
Inverter is Magnum MSH4024 4kw 24V input
Air conditioner is small 6000 btu that was drawing about 650 to 700 watts.
Solar was producing over 650 watts by 10am and stayed above that until 5pm. Peak solar power was over 850 watts and the Midnite controller said 6200 watt-hours were produced during the day.
