I'm thinking about it. The math keeps getting better.
There are a bunch of 120V ductless minisplit heat pumps that will fit in the generator compartment (mine is currently empty)
The vandweller kids are doing the math in youtube videos - the 12,000 btu ductless pulls 700 watts for initial cool down and 200-300 watts to maintain.
THat comes to around 700amps worth or battery (discharged to 50%) and half that if i go with lithium. (I currently have 500 amps worth of flooded batteries to use up)
Who else has gone down this road?

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.
