I don't see why not, Just hook up the cord directly to the battery, should work just fine. Hpoe this hope this doesn't help.

Just run the extension cord into the cabin. Shouldn't be a worry as I'm sure the truck in up on blocks in your front yard...

yes make sure that you run an AC inverter that can handle the amps required by the air conditioner and also that you use a high output alternator.

yes you can do it, all you have to do is get a powerful enough dc to ac power inverter that can put out enough watts to power the ac unit, then i would suggest that you wire it directly to the battery and also run an inline fuse thats big enough to handle the amps. you alternator may not be up to the task, so that may have to be upgraded.

Might be a bit expensive. You will need a power inverter to supply the ac voltage. I have no idea of your alternator output, but you might have to upgrade your alternator to help carry the load.

Only if you are interested in having your head smashed in by the flying metal box if you have an accident. God what a mess that would be! And on your headstone they would put "He was a hillbilly redneck, but at least he was cool".

Sounds like a great idea.Mount your ac unit and get a good power inverter and your set to go.Enjoy your new ac and drive safe.Best of luck.
