Portable A/C unit

[philo111]

have a Camper Box Truck with a 14' box. I also have a 10,000 BTU portable A/C that uses 1200 watts / 10.8 amps).
I would like to run the A/C for several hours without a Honda type gas generator.

I was thinking:
I could upgrade the Truck Alternator to one that produces
100 amps at idle.

Get a good quality Deep Cell Battery that holds 200 amps.

Get a 3000 watt inverter.

Plug in the Portable A/C.

Start the Truck and just let it idle for hours when the A/C is
on (the engine does not over-heat).

Would this work?

Thank you for your thoughts!

1, truck motor at idle will burn lots of fuel and lots of polution
2, 100 A alternator is rated amps at XXX RPM, not at idle
3, a single battery can only supply about 50% of its rate before it is considered dead.
4, 10.8A at 120VAC means the inverter will draw approx 110Amps at 12VDC to run the load.
Any more questions?
