On hot days the dash A/C cannot keep up so I run the generator and house A/C all the time.
I guess there are more advantages to having a "small" RV than I thought. :B
The truck AC in my C (Ford E450) is adequate to cool the whole thing in any conditions I've experienced so far.
It takes a little while to get really comfortable but after that, fine.
My only concern running the engine AND the gen would be with trying to charge the batteries from TWO generator sources at the same time.
But it appears this is common practice and works fine.
Charging systems on newer rv's are smart enough to know what source to allow a charge to the batteries. The default is when it senses shore power, if no shore power then gen, if no gen then engine alt. But it won't attempt to charge from multiple sources.
