My problem is the Hatteras NPS campgrounds have a 9 pm curfew for generators.

I haven't seen the efficiency of energy conversion from 12VDC stored to 120VAC through the inverter required to make the A/C work. Nor the costs for that size inverter. In the end a generator will be cheaper for such a recurring load.

If you can't plug in and if genny is subject to curfew, your best bet is a couple of fans. A vent fan drawing hot air out and pulling cooler air through the windows, plus maybe another fan blowing directly on you. Can't blame you for exploring your idea, though.
