I know that truckers have a/c units designed to run on batteries. Has anyone here ever investigated those units for marine purposes?

I believe Dometic has DC units that are about 3500 BTU

This would be fine underway but the batt bank for O nite would be too large for a small boat.

Then of course is dock side how do you create DC to run the unit from 120VAC?

Needed is at least 30Anps plus what ever house and batt recharge loads exist.
