Dry camping and solar power

I have a 20ft keystones hideout 177hls. I will be dry camping for 6 months from may to October. The only major issue I'm running into is powering my a/c unit. I understand that my 12v battery won't power it and I don't like the noise of generators. I am wondering what my options are, an estimate of how much the mods would cost, and any revelent information I should take into account.

I'm new to RV life and appreciate any info.

I should add, I won't be running too many appliances. Not even LED lights, just the a/c during daytime hours. I'm sure that makes a difference in battery size etc.

You want AC, you need a generator. It would take a BIG set of solar panels to produce that much power, and then there is night with no solar
