I have watched other people who have installed them on their RVs.
They might not last very long.
A mini split would be perfect for my solar system, I am boondocking 95% of the time.

I"m not sure I follow what you are trying to do. A minisplit will work so long as it is attached full time. There are 3 lines A supply, A return and a condensate drain. I'm wondering if people are thinking of a unit compressor in the truck bed or a receiver hitch. Just for A FYI. I know you are aware. You are very knowing. Just for the others. I have great respect for the things you do.

A mini-split will work. IS it worth attaching to an inverter? Most are 220 Volts I do not know of any converter which produces single-phase 220V. I may be behind the times as of late. But. For what it is worth. These units will not last if you are connecting and disconnecting the refrigerant lines. Upon installation. Get a good vacuum pump. Suck out the compressibles then release the gas. This is the key to a long lasting system. Skip steps and it will cost you $$ or $$$.

Self contained and sealed system will last a long time. I"m a huge fan of mini splits with heat pump option.
Best of luck. Just consider the compressor location and how to locate it.

His outside unit is mounted on the rear of his camper and it’s a 120 volt unit.

Uhftx,
thanks for your comments. It has worked great so far, only time will tell if it will hold up.There are other people which have installed mini splits on their RV's they have held up for a long time.
I love my mini split, with my solar set-up I should be able to run my air-conditioning unit in the summer.
