Here is an item that has potential for you campers. A Sanden Scroll compressor that is driven by an electric DC motor. This would make it possible to use your airconditioning system without the engine running. Power requirement details are sprarse except for 320 VDC. This seems odd but the compressor comes with some kind of power box. The scroll is one of the quietest and durable compressor available. Add a reversing valve and presto, you have a heat pump! I will try and get more details if anyone is interested. http://www.sanden.com/parts/sd7.html
