Title: Coach air on Batteries

I have a question about the AC on my coach. I had somebody tell me that his coach would run the AC on "LOW" off of the inverter for a short time or pretty much as long as he was running down the road.
I didn't get manuals when I bought my coach used so I don't know if it is capable of this. I don't want to try it and burn something up if it isn't really capable of it. I know they don't come on if they are in the "AUTO" setting only running on the inverter.
So my question is, Can I run 1 or more of my Air Conditioners on the "LOW" setting off the inverter?

No.

You should be able to run both AC units in the Genset.

The ACs are not connected to the inverter in my coach. I have to be either on shore power or have the geneerator running to run either or both ACs. As far as I know there is no low to the AC units themselves, only high, low and auto fan speed.

I believe the coaches that have 2 inverters, Affinities and maybe some Magnas have one of the a/c's set-up to run on one of the inverters. I am not aware of any Intrigues or lower trim coaches having multiple inverters or an a/c configured to run on the only inverter.

You would have to upsize the inverter and battery bank in order to run an A/C.
