I just wanted to provide an update to this thread since it is now 10 years since I installed the 5k AC window unit. I don’t believe it is even close to wearing out as we rarely use the unit.
We generally use it only at night when we are traveling and operate it using our 2,000 watt inverter and our lithium batteries. However, when we were recently at the International Rally in Maine it was quite warm so we ran it all the time for about 3 days since we had power available and I reluctantly agreed to “plug in” and not run off our batteries. The temperatures were in the high 80’s and it kept the interior reasonably cool and at a low humidity even during the day.
When we left Maine, we headed up to Canada and the upper peninsula in Michigan for 3 weeks and didn’t need the air conditioner at all.Yippee.

Glad to hear that. Looks like I started this thread 12 years ago in 2012. Ours still works great too. I no longer operate it with the 1,000 watt generator but off 3 lithium batteries with an inverter. We can operate it all night long off the batteries.
