Hi Paulette; the answer is yes, you can use a 130-watt portable solar panel such as the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller # 34282730.
This will output a max of 6.74 amps, and be a nice way to charge your batteries, though I do have to say that batteries won't run an air conditioner. They utilize just too much power, so for an AC unit on your camper you would definitely need a generator like the Champion 4,500-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator # CH44FR.
This has a 4,500 starting watts/3,500 running watts output, so you need to make sure that your AC unit will work within those parameters. If not, I have added a link below to our selection of generators which you can filter through by power output.
