onan 5500 running AC

Picking up my first Toy Hauler on Monday. KZ Montego Bay Sportster M-37CKS3.

For those of you used to dry camping in the southwest in the summer. I am curious if you run your Onan 5500 all night to run AC when heat is in the 100's?
Do you open the cabinet door? Anything special I need to do or Just head to the mountain's for cooler weather?
thanks

    Google 'Genturi'. For those who run gens all night these are a Godsend. I never could sleep with a gen running because of worrying about the fumes until I got one of these. I do not open the cabinet door and have never heard anyone complaining about one overheating. I'm sure Onan has an overheat protection function built in but I have never heard of one tripping it.
