Running A/C on solar.
I want to do a solar setup on my new TT. One big enough to run the A/C. I'm thinking of getting an inverter big enough to run the A/C, and just running the shore power cable to it when I'm camping...

Off grid and on road are two very different things.
Solar panels are one thing BUT you must have a battery bank to store the energy you want to collect. Good Batteries weigh a TON.
You might be able to swing it, but the price you pay for the extra equipment and hauling all that extra weigh for a few hours of comfort will be high.
BTW be very careful picking out an inverter. I purchased a 2000 watt inverter only to find it was "not the right type" if you wanted to use a microwave.
Me, this will be my air conditioner If and when I have no shore power available -
