Dave -
I agree with you. Now that better batteries and better solar panels are becoming available, the future looks interesting.
As I read the Dometic ad, I wondered if the unit actually operates on 12 VDC, or if it has an internal inverter. No way to know, but a 58-amp 12-VDC motor would be a beast.
I also thought about the several feet of BIG wires that would be needed to carry 58 amps from the batteries, wherever they are, to the A/C, presumably in the middle of the roof. Probably #2 wires at best. Wires the size of your index finger are difficult to install.
Still, an interesting development. I will be curious to see where Dometic goes with it.
