I've noticed those diesel gennys, too. They're amazingly quiet - I don't know how they do it. Just a quiet hum even from outside.

Here's another thing to think about. If you have a house gen. You can fire the ac then move to a small gen like the honda or yaMaha to run it. Most of the amps/ volts are needed to start it not to run it.
have fun
Excellent idea, never thought of that.

Class A with no on board generator? How did that happen...
Anyway you are looking at 3000 to 4000 watts to operate in most conditions.
I recommend two Honda 2000, parallel kit and extended run fuel tank if you need air all night. Not sure how to keep $2300 from walking away at a truck stop.
If you want to go high tech you could mate a Victron inverter to combine power with a single Honda 2000.
I noticed at the NASCAR races most everyone with a Class A has a small Honda generator running. No need to run a big, permanently mounted generator all night if you're just going to use it for lights and keeping your batteries charged. Plus the Hondas are very quiet and you're not exhausting your neighbor (even with my Genturi, I get some exhaust smell). I guess NASCAR fans are mostly the honest type because only a couple of people had them chained down.
I don't know if anyone was trying to run their A/C with them. I saw a couple of people with pairs hooked up in parallel, but they were travel trailer people. At that point you might as well run your RV's generator.
