Hi, I ran an Onan generator in my Mac Tools truck; I got about 5,000 hours on it when I up-graded to a newer and larger Onan. I could have had the old generator rebuilt, but chose not to.

There is a system out there though that gives cold air off batteries alone, it's used in the bunks of highway trucks, it uses four batteries and supposedly gives a night of cold air and the batteries recharge by the truck alternator while driving during the day, not sure if something like this could be rigged up in an airstream or not, but an interesting thought just the same.
