Not an AC expert, but have watched the threads in here and other places and dont really understand why more folks dont try or use mini splits, some small units are as high as 18 SEER to help with energy usage, and have seen some 8000-9000 btuh units with 650-800 watt energy consumption when operating. If operating consumption is that low, it seems a solar package of 1000 watts or more with a battery bank in the 500 AHr range should give a small camper at least several hours a day of usage.
There are inverter driven window shakers that could work without the copper line set to leak. Mini splits can run at pressures above 500 psi so I would have concerns about the flair connections.
Be advised that this boat has already left the dock, mini-splits are likely on thousands of OTR vehicles and trailers…
