 This is very practical, and it's how RVs have been doing it for many years. The A/C systems run natively on 120v AC(Alternating Current) and are getting power from a [[electrical:generator|generator]] or [[electrical:shore_power|shore power]].
-v AC units are vastly more common, and much cheaper than the 12v or 24v DC units. These are usually roof-mounted, smaller ones can be had for as little as $500 and are very common in the rest of the R/V world. If you have a a big enough inverter, it's possible to run them off of a house battery bank as well (although you'll suffer some efficiency losses).
