I just think saying it will "run the entire coach" is a big stretch as most people will buy it expecting to actually be able to run the AC, especially with all the marketing they push about soft starts and high efficiency units. That's going to leave many people sorely disappointed.
I guess agree to disagree on this part. Not a stretch at all; this system WILL "run the entire coach" including the AC, microwave, all outlets, furnace, etc.
Now if your use is to boondock in 100*+ weather, then this will not be the system for you. But that's not my use case... the whole idea for us is that our 5th wheel has wheels and when it gets too hot we move, and when it gets too cold, we move again. In fact, this is our first RV that will have a 2nd AC (over 10 years of extended RV use, 3-5 months per year)... We boondocked just fine for the past 3+ years with a single AC using 300 watts of solar, 2 T-105s and a 600 watt inverter with occasional portable gen use to top up or run the AC for an hour or 2... water was often a larger concern than battery and solar, and still will be...
I just don't believe that "most people" will need to run dual ACs for hours a day. There is a large part of the US and much of Canada where AC use is minimal and a 2nd AC isn't even installed... and there are buyers of RVs in all of these areas too.
I think from my research it will work fine for me and others like me, but of course YMMV... and I think it does ;)
