    How is the battery drain with that? Can you go 8 hours and be fine with it on?

    After you cut the hole and drop the unit in the rest is done inside, you’ll need to remove some upholstery to run the wire, remember it is 110 volt so protect the wiring.
    RV ac’s are easier to start with a generator and made for the vibration.

    A driver I run with occasionally has a roof top on his 9, to be honest, I'm surprised he hasn't froze, I think he had it put on in Texas.

    Some good info about power usage with a mini split. And yes they can run off battery power.
