Possibly a Dumb A/C Question

Is there any issue with running my camper's rooftop A/C while going down the road? I recently added enough solar on the roof to run the A/C solely from that without dipping into the battery. Prior to the new solar it's never been possible to run the A/C for very long off the battery, so it had not occurred to me to run it while traveling.

We have accidentally done it a few times now……. No problems due to not shutting it down before hitting the road except for our batteries only being at about 30% when we stopped for a dry camping overnight, fortunately it was a cool night so the AC wasn’t needed and we made out fine on the batteries with plenty of juice to make coffee in the morning.
