around Here, air conditioning is referred to as A/C .. as "AC" mean 120v alternating current electricity
it gets confusing when somebody start talking AC as air conditioning in a thread talking about electricity
an NO you are not going to run the roof A/C or basement A/C from batteries and solar, for that you still need a generator or shore power, the battery bank required is way to big
there are one or two members powering a small window A/C for a few evening hours, but They must recharge the batteries the Next day using a generator

Thank you for the input. Ron, by residential AC some manufacturers are using the term referring to cold air returns as opposed to the standard RV AC units which are noisy.
Ok, you got me here. I'm not sure what you mean by "cold air returns". Can you explain this to me please?
AC units only cool existing air from inside the rv (or house). I've never heard of one that will take outside air and heat/cool it. My mh has intakes on the ceiling that takes the interior air, runs it through the AC unit to either heat it or cool it, and then returns it back to the interior of the rv. My home AC units does exactly the same so I don't think it makes a difference (in the process) whether the AC is on an rv or house.'
