I was hoping you were referring to a different one. $4k rents a lot of hotel rooms

I ran out of time calculating this but looking at that 12 Vdc unit at the mid level and thinking you don't want to kill the batteries (say only go 80% discharge), looks like you would need 4 of these JUST for the AC. I was using 7 hours.

Then think of the load on your alternators to get these charged back up. Seems to me a small gen set may still be better, and if you ever are at the dock easy to plug in. But I would like to look into dedicated deep cycle batteries and finish the calculations.
