Lithium Confusion
I currently store my coach in my garage plugged into 30 amp service. My new coach came with lead acid batteries. The coach has a progressive dynamics PD 4060 charger in a mighty mini power center. ...

@pianotuna I'll update about the solar panels running the AC in a month or so. I had to go into an rv park in Montana so I ordered the Micro-Air easy start . I'll install it and run the 5 learning cycles while I have pedestal power. This camp is heavily treed and I'll have to wait for a test run with solar for the results.;)
Itinerant1,
Magnum doesn't recommend running air conditioners on the 3000 watt hybrid inverter/chargers.
Mine is a Dometic 13500, equipped with microair.
I've tried everything I can to make it possible, but the red over load on the remote comes on.
I can run the roof air on the Magnum, but it doesn't like it. red light
I can run the roof air with Magnum on load support from the generator. red light
I can run the roof air directly from the generator.
I tried putting the autoformer between the generator and the shore power cord--but I had limited the Magnum to 24 amps input. That failed to run the roof air.
This summer, if we get out of lock down, I'll try again with the autoformer and the Magnum opened up on input to say 30 amps. That's about 2 amps greater than the surge value on the Yamaha generator. If that doesn't work then I'll set it for 50 amps and see what happens.
May you have better luck with the LI batteries and larger solar system, than I have.
If I ever have to replace the Magnum, I'll go to either Victron or Outback.
I use load support a great deal.
