I've also wondered about an A/C, you can get 50 amp 12v (so 600w) units for
cooling truck sleeper cabs, that's 9000btu, not far from the typical
13-14.5k btu roof top units. Granted, people commonly run two of those, but
9k, insulation, and perhaps some care about how you park your GMC? And a
swamp cooler? I also thought about using the swamp cooler as a source of
cool air for an intercooler, so you can get cool, non humid air (and just
dump the hot, wet air, and since you are doing that, use greywater(though
that would muck up your evap unit faster)?). 800 watts or more should be
quite doable, the eklektro guy had 1000w on a 23' coach. Of course, since
your solar pannels are nottilted, you will not get 100%.
