My HVAC friend says that he never heard of a 12-volt compressor, and that fact would make it nearly impossible to get parts for a 12-volt AC unit. Also the drain on the batteries would be greater than any I expect.
So, I think my best bet is to find and install a true 115-volt system and connect it to my Shore Power wiring. I will be able to use it at my dock or connect a portable generator to the Shore Power outlet. Thanks all! :D |

Oh yeah...i think I recall a long thread about this some time ago.
would you rather have a diesel gen that had spark protection over a gas unit...on a gas boat? or would you never mix and match no matter what?

I would be tempted to engineer a self contained water reservoir system with a radiator to connect to the a/c water lines so you could run the a/c on the trailer. Just roll it out of the garage and hook it up.

If anyone has any questions regarding our 12 volt system, or the benefit from using a true 12 volt system over a 115 volt a/c system fire away.
