Is the Dometic even available in the US. So far all I see is pricing in British pounds and Australian dollars and it's not a pretty sight.

Over 1600 British pounds and over 2300 Australian dollars.

If successfully starting a roof mount A/C with a genset is the issue then the better solution would be a 13,500 BTU A/C equipped with a Micro-Air Easy Start Soft Starter Kit powered with the new Honda EU2200i which is significantly more powerful than it's 2K predecessor or indeed any 2K inverter genset currently available. If the OP felt a 9200 BTU A/C would be sufficient the EU2200i would just laugh at the task. :p

A/C does not make cold but rather moves heat. Check the amp rating.

Domestic makes a 1200W unit that runs off of 24v dc. It even has a remote, so it’s fun too! I’m waiting on a response from them to see what they think. Hopefully it will cool without the vehicle moving.

That sounds like a awesome idea - very creative! If you don't mind post a link to the unit you are considering?

It takes up a good chunk of floor space: I have a 7,000BTU (EDIT: 8500BTU) portable AC that stands on wheels and vents out through a window with a hose. My 2000w Inverter generator can run it, but, can NOT start it up when it is in ECO mode.

I think you can get those in smaller BTU models that a 2000w would run and start in ECO mode... I use mine at the storage lot on hot days along with my gen if I need to do work inside and it is perfect for my need. It would work if I were boondocking and willing to run my generator with eco mode turned off. But - It takes up a fair amount of room as stated.

EDIT 2: If I read your reply to Charlie right this solution might work if you were willing to give up the floor space and make a more secure way for it to vent to the outside. A buddy of mine used plexiglass with a hole cut in it for the hose because the supplied window adapter would not securely fit in the window he wanted to use.

Thanks Charlie. Yes I have a window I can stick it in but I was hoping to be able to use the gen so I can run it ahead of stopping for the day. The bed gets so hot it takes forever to cool it down.
