Running roof air off solar, a Honda EU1000, and batteries

My goal - be as quiet as possible when boondocking, while still having all the creature comforts. Even a 13.5k BTU roof air. But on really hot days, even my 600 watts of solar won't match the load. ...

I enjoy the piece and quiet of the great outdoors.

Only after that will I need the help of a small genny.

I use them only as a last resort when boondocking. I prefer piece and quiet, while still having as many creature comforts as I can. And while a 6500 is pretty quiet, a 1000 is even more so. But then again, solar makes even less noise.

Totally illogical.
When running the AC, it makes so much noise that you can't hear the generator.
