The Advent AC Unit part # ACM135C is one of the lower drawing RV AC units as it only draws 1,450 watts and since it has a start capacitor it doesn't draw considerable more when powering on initially. I am not sure the wattage of the other accessories you mentioned but with this AC unit you'd have 2,000 watts left over to power everything else. Most likely you'd be fine though.
