I think I have the same unit. It is very heavy. It has a large transformer that provides nice clean sine wave power.
The one thing I don't like about it is you have to turn it on to get shore power. I would prefer that was automatic.
It will run the air conditioner, but not long unless you have a huge battery bank.

I am looking at getting the Renogy 3000w unit this spring. I was curious why the Renogy inverter needs to turned on to run shore power. If you have a automatic transfer switch why the inverter has to be on to get shore power. Maybe I am not understanding how most inverter setups are designed, but I thought it was not necessary.
