Thanks for response, I am sure you are correct on the inverters not powering AC units, I do have a microwave so perhaps that accounts for demand. If money weren't an object, I would likely go the residential route with a solar array and dedicated inverter and batteries. Once we can use it and determine if we like the RV life, we can consider a future upgrade and I doubt I will get credit for any fancy upgrades when I sell this old of a rig. I appreciate the dimensions of the Dometic 1292, I used the same chart to try to find something close, the countertop fridges are even more expensive but a 22.5 or possibly 23 cu. ft. model would be very close in dimension and depending you can probably find one that will fit inside with doors off.
I remain optimistic that will be camping in a few weeks once I get this fixed and then begins the real learning process. We still have a bunch to learn about how to setup, travel and supply the RV but looking forward to that instead of fixing.
One other question, I have had the AC units running while working on the RV the past few weekends and when I was on the roof installing my vent covers, I noticed the runoff from the AC units was pooling at the side of the roof. The 2-3 inch wide band of dicor is damming up water and not letting it runoff preventing it from getting to edge gutter. No apparent leaks in the roof and I believe the RV was mostly level but concerned with water pooling. I was wondering if a trough of some kind should be installed to channel the water off the roof from the drip pan? Just curious if you have heard of anyone dealing with this before?
