Hyrbrid Inverter and generator to run AC?
I’m looking for inputs from those using hybrid inverters, especially in conjunction with generators to run high load devices like the AC. I currently have 600 watts of solar on the roof of my 5er, wit...

Wow, it's good to know the Xantrex doesn't do load support as that is primarily what I was looking for. the way we camp we rarely optimize solar so I can't imagine ever running AC completely off solar/batteries, I was more just looking to not have to parallel my generators and use load support to run my AC with just one.
The more I read into it, the more I'm inclined to just keep things simple. I'll probably put in a bigger inverter for rare short high powered use, the primary being my wife's hair dryer. Since I'll probably go with the old dependable wet cell batteries I realize my high demand loads will have to be kept short. Most of my 40 or so years of rving I haven't used and inverter, or even a generator so it doesn't really feel like an imposition. I'm Just starting to get a little spoiled as I get older. I can't even use the recliners in the current rig without an inverter as they are electric and run on AC. Not sure who came up with the idea of putting them in an RV.
For those of you running true hybrid systems, would you consider it worth the trouble and expense, or just primarily a Meh type luxury.
