That's horrible advice. He is not going to install $15k worth of solar system on a $10k 5th wheel that he only uses on weekends.
OP... If you MUST have AC, then I would recommend a 3500W inverter generator and skip the solar in it's entirety. Get an 8k-10k BTU window or portable AC unit and skip using the factory 15k rooftop unit. Those AC units cost the same as a soft start and are way more efficient at cooling your RV than your factory AC unit. Takes only a few minutes to set them up.
The generator and the better AC is going to cost about $1k.
