AC would be the only issue, but someone metioned that you could run the AC on an interver with 18 6volt batteries....
I could see potentially using the batteries to run the roof AC if i were boondocking in an organized group with quite hours or at a primitive campground somewhere, but that would be a very rare circumstance.
I'm not sure why you wrote that the AC would be the only issue, however. All electric or not, most folks can't run their ACs while boondocking unless they run the generator or have 16 batteries and a dedicated inverter. Doesn't matter if they carry propane.
