I'm fortunate to be able to run the roof air from my battery bank. I do have recharging issues. Since I am in a class C, I can, if I so desire, start the engine and run the dash air with the roof air at the same time. That extends the run time on the roof air and cools the RV much faster.
Or, I can use the generator. I prefer to not do so. I will NOT sleep with the generator running. Fortunately my Yamaha 3000 sIEB is equipped with a remote control.
