Hi Kafn8td,
So, given a choice of Shore Power or running a generator all day to operate the air conditioner, which would you choose?
I urbandock a great deal because of my profession. I do it by choice. I'm not going to come home to a "hotter than Hades" RV. Running a generator 24/7 implies changing the oil in it every four days. I don't want to do that, either. It is far cheaper to go to a campground if one is available.
Not only will two 2k units be noisier than one 3k unit, the maintenance is doubled. It is rare to find a reliable 2k unit that has electric start and/or remote start.
I'm fortunate to be able to run the roof air from the battery bank/inverter for some time. I do have to recharge quickly if I do so. That can be done on a single 15 amp shore power circuit.
Because I chose a load support inverter, I could run my air from a single 2k unit. I chose not to because I want electric start and remote start.
My ultimate goal is to be able to run the roof air from solar/battery bank/inverter.

I can afford gas to run a generator, all day if I need to. I often race in hot, humid conditions and need a way to recover. Being 51, I don't recover like I used to.
