Heating and Cooling on the road
I'm probably a little naive on this coming from a 5th wheel, but when rolling down the road with passenger is a class A, are you pretty much stuck with the generator running the whole time to cool beh...

Most run their generators, BUT I rarely have to run the generator to stay cool and NO you cannot run a AC off the inverter... they are not on the inverter's 120V circuits. One of the problems with the dash air is the hot water valve rarely shuts off all of the hot water... I installed a manual valve that I close in the summer. I also bypassed the evaporator temp switch so my compressor runs all of the time when AC selected... never defrosts. Out west I rarely have to shut the AC off to melt the ice buildup which slows the flow of air. When I know it's going to be 95+ I turn the front AC on and open all of the front vents (close all of the rear) so if the dash air cannot keep up, all I have to do is press the generator start switch on the dash IF it gets too warm. Closing the door to the back also helps to keep the engine heat in the back.
If I have to run the generator, then 30 minutes before getting to a CG with 50A service I'll have the DW turn on the front two AC's to start cooling the MH off. Otherwise it's going to take a while to get comfortable at the CG even with the door to the rear closed.
