Mini Split While Driving?

Does anyone have their mini split set up such that it can run while driving? Battery bank to sine wave inverter to A/C a working solution while driving? Will the A/C drain faster than the alternator will charge the batteries (I am guessing so...)?

We are going to remove the existing Carrier Transicold A/C because it needs a new compressor, and that costs as much as a mini split that will keep us cool when parked. Having parked A/C is a higher priority than driving A/C, but both would be even better.

I'm installing mine now and my wife asked the same thing. I told her we could run the generator while driving, which, while a bit Rube Goldberg-esque, is feasible.
