You should be able to bring a long cord (20-25 feet, check the electric charts for max length, then go shorter)from the unit to the bottom of the coach. We used a channel already in the coach for the original A/C ducts and then dropped it down to the basement.
You cannot run this A/C off the generator or your electric panel, it is a separate electric connection. If you boondock off your generator this won't help you, but it will be the fastest and quickest way to go if you regularly overnight with electric hook-ups. I purchased a 50A to 30A & 20A splitter on Amazon and use it when there is no regular 30A and 20A on the electric post. This mod probably saved my marriage!!!!!

Saved mine too!
I also installed a 20 amp breaker in the rv panel(I believe there was room for 2) and ran a wire to the compartment with the AC plug so I can plug it into the rv and run either one when on generator. Takes a regular square d breaker from Lowes.
