Hello Elliott,

Thank you for contacting us.

You would need at least a 3,000 inverter to run one air conditioner. If you want to run two, you would need to use a 6,000 watt inverter. If you want to run AC units off of batteries you will need a lot of batteries. One battery will run one air conditioner for about 20 minutes. An air conditioner puts an extreme draw on batteries, pulling around 150-200 amps when running. You need very large batteries and many of them to run an air conditioner. Because of this too, you will need to have a whole roof of solar panels to help recharge the voltage lost as well. I know people who have been able to do this to be able to run their AC units for a short period of time but if you are looking to run two AC units for a long time, you will need a generator.

Sincerely,
Dan

If you know of groups for vintage campers, could you point me in the right direction. Thanx.

Hello Sid. They are the same wattage so they would power the same but you wouldn’t be able to replace the onboard generator with a portable generator. The portable wouldn’t fit into the compartment and also they are allowed in storage areas. RV generators are made to specifically work in a storage compartment with special venting and air intake. You would never be able to get a portable one to work properly in the current area. You can only replace onboard generators with other onboard generators made for RV’s.
Thanks
