Have posted on this before but shall bore others again.
We have run the Dometic a/c on LFP/solar for 3.5 hours at a rate of about 1750 W.
Our son trialed the system twice for 30 minutes running a/c and microwave simultaneously at a rate of around 3200 W.
Found out that the Dometic a/c may be a split level a/c heat pump. If so, then it will take a lot less power and can run all day on solar.

TCs by nature are limited in many ways and must work within those limitations to make things work. Often, TC enthusiasts are struggling just to add 1 additional battery to round out their bank to 2 batteries. Thus, the rub.
