AC need depends highly at time & locations where you camp.
2 years ago we took 2 months for FL trip and AC + generator were heavily used. Even we travel August/September I remember only 3 nights when we could sleep without AC.
This year we went to Alaska for 2 months. AC and generator were dead weight.
But if you are split on your AC installation - good backup is truck AC.
We had to use it once in 115F weather when Generac gave ghost.
All you need is a boot between truck rear window and camper front window.
Set truck to defrost and max fan, start exhaust fan in the camper and you have nice breeze.
