adamis said, “Being able to kick on the AC in the camper from the truck (using a remote) and then having lunch in a cooled camper without the noise would be a huge win for me.”
We do exactly this and on a regular basis (visiting relatives), but much of this depends on equipment (solar, inverter, batts, air conditioner size), size of camper and region of country…For a truck camper such as mine (single 10’ slide-out, 11kbtu, LFP, solar) in low humidity ‘CalVada’ it can be a viable option…Arrived last Saturday in 105d/f Fresno, CA, at 1530 and ran the air for about 5hrs straight…Provided some well appreciated relief until the mid-evening began to cool - compressor cycling, concurrent with harvest, ending with about 60 usable a/hrs still in reserve…Count me as one in the non-speculative ‘can do’ camp, but admittedly may not work well for everybody’s scenario…LFP’s are mandatory -JMO
