2022 Tellaro coach air conditioning issues

We live in AZ and have tried several road trips with this new ride and the air conditioning stops after a few hours on the road. We have solar panels on top and a lithium battery. It's far too hot to drive in the desert without the coach air running.
We've had this in at La Mesa 3 times. They tell us either that it's now fixed or they say nothing is wrong with it. Another answer was that it can only run for an hour without shore power. How does anyone live with this? Has anyone else solved this problem?
Also the decorative elements installed in the coach are falling off. The glue used to put them up is melting into little stalagmites on the window edges.

Some people bring a generator with to charge the battery, I would be fed up too

Greetings and Welcome

More info is needed

What MH do you have?
What lithium battery do you have?
Has your dealer suggested adding another/more battery?

More questions but these will get you some help

How many Ah is your single LiFePO4 battery?

I have a different coach but ai installed five 170Ah LiFePO4 batteries for 850Ah. I also have 495W of Solar.

I can one one of my A/C’s all night if it is cycling Off and On, make two pots of coffee in the morning, charge laptops and phones overnight and run the T-Mobile Gateway. I had only used about 1/3 of my capacity in 10 hours the other day.

If you have a single 100Ah or even a single 200Ah, that is not going to give you much runtime if the A/C runs continuously.

If you have solar and a BIM to allow your alternator to charge the battery while driving, you should be able to run your A/C without depleting the battery while driving but that sepends on several factors. If you don’t have a BIM or you only have 100W panel, you will deplete the battery in a couple hours…. especially if you have a small capacity battery.

I can also run one of my A/C’s while driving without starting the generator between my solar, BIM and 850Ah.
