I don't believe that Winnebagos have the underhood generators, it is one of the deciding factors that pushes buyers to a Roadtrek/Hymer.
Running the "generator" means running the engine and yes, it will run the AC. I have one in my 170. I have never needed to run it more than an hour or so to cool down.
Good point.
Your 170 doesn't have the engine idling restriction on the Chevy Express van chassis? Did the Sprinter chassis crowd on classbforum ever come to anything like a reasonable consensus on that issue, including input from MB engineering? I followed those threads a while back, but don't recall if they ever closed it with a rule of thumb regarding how long you can safely idle them, or what is required to clean up/out the EGR and DPF after long periods of stationary idling.
