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...

2800 inverter sure sounds like big enough to run single AC, but is your alternator big enough?
Constant speed generators are known gas-guzzlers so running one is not very economical, unless you have inverter model.
Than taking 1 HP from the engine is not noticeable even on compact car, where in our cars we don't see mpg change from winter to summer, when AC is on 100% of the time.
Manufacturers don't wire AC to inverters as there is too much involved, but in my conversion, where I have 8000W alternator, I do run AC from inverter just fine.
Make sure inverter is having good cooling as that become small issue with mine.
