Thanks for al the comments. Given that we have pets and my DW does not like to be hot we will definitely be running the generator and coach air this trip.

I run the dash ac and keeps the whole MH pretty cool, no need to run generator

I don't notice any difference in performance when the dash AC is on. The MPG may change slightly but I've never checked it and don't care.
