we HAD an old English sheepdog (Maggie) and we ran the generator and roof top air A LOT (I mean were in Texas too).

I could never really (precisely) determine the fuel consumption of the gen....that is to say....It was negligible (even when dry camping)....I could go trackside "camping" for 3 days running the generator, mostly at night, to run AC & recover batteries and the gallonage consumption was minimal.

Pushers (MCI/Prevost/Featherlight) have HUGE battery banks (6-8) and multiple inverters/chargers...AND they run multiple alternators.

OTR Bus's have separate (engine/belt driven) AC compressors - its part of why their mpg is in the dumper (some report a 30hp consumption just to run all the accessories).

I say RUN it, its what its there for (I try not to look at the hour meter anymore)...and the MPG impact from running the 10kw Gen is minimal (I could save more fuel if I uses a lighter foot).

Count the Alternators on this pusher coach....
