I like the idea of installing a charger/inverter in these instances. The shorepower can/will run your AC and some recepticals. When you're away from the dock/shorepower you can run the inverter with the engine on to feed the AC and cool down the cabin for a little bit. With the engine off you probably can't run the AC and if you do the batteries wont last long but you can use the recepticals.

just my $.02

When installing the breaker panel, be sure to get one that's made for shore power. Warning, they can be expensive $175-200+.

The breaker on the shore power panel cuts both +/- legs when you flip the switch and also has a light that comes on so you know if you are hooked up with reversed polarity.

Look at MarineAir or Mermaid - 5,000 BTU should suffice.

Just added shorepower to our boat don't forget about a galvanic isolator. It reduces chances of stray current (galvanic corrosion) & electrocution.

We have a system that runs on 12 volts, but doesn't use a power inverter to run thanks to 12 volt compressors, they come in 4k btu and 6k btu. Then add your shore power charger! http://www.12voltac.com
