I'm not boondocking for days running it 24/7, but I love the ability to run the AC off grid.
We use it on super hot days on the highway for the house AC, and have used it a few times stopping for a few hours in the evening before bed or for a lunch break or such.... and for my morning coffee

Actually, our 5th wheel (see signature) has a "semi" generator prep with a 50 amp Marinco twist-lock receptacle on the front of the 5th wheel. We use 2 each Yamaha EF2000iS generators running in parallel in the bed of the truck to provide almost 30 amp service to the 5th wheel via a 30-to-50 adapter and 30 amp cord when we're on the road and want to run one A/C to precool the RV. A similar setup could be used in the rig you're discussing for boondocking if you didn't want to run the Mercedes coach engine to power the generator.
