I was told by the dealer where i bought my motorhome from that it is more economical to run my roof air conditioners heat pumps while driving than to run the engine air conditioning.
However d epending on what source of energy you use you may only be able to use the dashboard air conditioner.
While you could run an ac unit with a 2500 or 3000 watt inverter the 12 volt power supply from your batteries and the chassis alternator would be extremely taxed for that draw.
Ac is the one that you would use while driving.
Yes one can run both the dash air conditioner as well as the roof top air conditioner in rv while driving.

Hello all i am reaching out for help from anyone who has knowledge of keeping a roof ac going without using the generator or shore power.

While driving we will run the genset and start the coach ac units but they don t seem to cool very well.
A good roof air conditioner is something all rver want to use while hitting the road.
I have to run my generator to do this which will also use fuel just like the engine air conditioning.
Sometimes when we travel it gets so hot outside that the dash air conditioning isn t sufficient.
Lest see if we can start it while driving and what other considerations we should keep in mind.
This is especially true when driving a class a motorhome.
