Some how I would have to have a connection in between them to recharge the batteries and control the power from the batteries to the A/C control panel. That set up you have has definetly grabbed my interest.

I like the idea that it will run by generator and shore power connection.

Xantrex has everything

Wow! That Xantrex super duper 458 inverter/charger seems like a badass.

Has a lot of protection capabilities for your electrical circuits.

Wowx2!! At the price.

Some words I have to say about safety.
Please immediately wrap all wires and zip tie them so it will non rubbing against the frame or cab.
We don't need fire or electrocuted.

it is also against DOT regulations not to have all wires inside a protective cover such as split-loom

No doubt! I took these pictures before the final "button-up"

Wrapped up the wires in electric tape first, then wire loom, then zip tied to bracket

I didn't realize how nice the sharkaire was over its competitors until I started watching YouTube instal videos...

Some mini splits didn't come with wiring, some came with wires but were not stripped or crimped, some of the units had copper lines that were not pre flarred

But the sharkaire had real nice color coded wiring that was pre-crimped with the right fittings, copper lines were preflarred. Real nice- thanks for the idea... even the controller is nice

The hvac man that came to pull a vacuum agreeed , he said it was nicer than the ones they sell lol

just came back from Europe. Was shocked what price they have for mini split AC. About $70 after currency convert. No window AC in store at all. different world.
