Running the gen sucks up the gas, for a 4 hr drive across the Desert with 100 + temps
I would run it directly from the battery.

I would run it directly from the battery. There is also a dehumidifier setting that I can use
Would that pull less than the air-conditioning ?

Here is an off-the-wall question , I was looking on Amazon.com and found it inverter that you can plug into your cigarette lighter/PowerPort or connect directly to the battery it is 1000 W my question is I have a very small portable AC that is I was looking on Amazon.com and found it inverter that you can plug into your cigarette lighter/PowerPort or connect directly to the battery it is 1000 W my question is I have a very small 15amps and draws 8 Amps,
I was hoping to run this while driving in these triple digit temperatures help keep the motorhome cool while driving instead of turning on the generator to run the roof air do you think this 1000 watt would work it says it can run a appliances and TVs ?
Can it destroy my battery car overheat my battery while driving ?
Like I said another' odd question...
Thanks

Nowhere in the tread or the OPs signature is the year or model or even type of RV mentioned that I can find. Just know that we're in the Class A section of RV.net, and the rig is 'older'.
I'm curious because even 'older' Class A's looped the bathroom GFI wiring into the kitchen.
You may already have GFI protection, MercedesMe28.

Battery will get recharged at the destination when you plug in. Could max out your alternator for an extended period depending on rating and other loads.
Will 80 amps hurt the battery ?
