Good stuff guys. What I'd like to see is a small AC unit, even down to 2K or 3K BTU but with much less draw. If I could find an AC unit with lower draw, I'd increase my bank to 500AH and get more modules on the roof.
I'm kind of like Jim, in that I usually camp/boondock at places where the ambient isn't to bad. I also have my trailer insulated about as best as possible.
I would think a < 5K unit would keep the cabin temps in a range that would be very comfortable. I have an 8K BTU AC in my tent camper and at 85f with high humidity, it becomes a meat locker. I have to turn it off at night because the family freezes.
With the ultra-insulated, sealed cabin, less would be great.
