Yup we can run the AC about 8 hours with no solar input! We’ll also be living in this full time come March so wanted all the power we could possibly fit.

Fwiw, depending on your a/c unit you might consider the SoftStart capacitor upgrade. It's more gentle on your battery and inverter when the compressor kicks in.

...unless you already have?

Yup ours has one built in already since it’s designed to run off the batteries! We had to install one on our last camper and it reduced the startup load significantly!

Yeah they aren’t making them :(
guess I shouldn't hold my breath for an instagram response from them than . . .

In reality I can't believe they would be that different from bronco sliders. . .
