Yes, it uses power and this power must be generated by the motor using more petrol.
You will use more gas when your air conditioner is running.

The Prius gasoline engine will start when the main battery charge gets low and begin to charge the battery. The air conditioner in the Prius is all electric, there is no compressor drag on the gasoline engine.
Using the AC takes power from the engine and it does lower the mpg.
It is not advisable to run the air conditioner with the windows open, even when the outside temperature is cooler. This can waste energy and reduce the efficiency of the air conditioner. It is more efficient to keep windows closed when using the air conditioner to maintain a consistent temperature inside.
No.....its a both a waste of time and money............
Yes but, hardly noticeable.
Not really. A 2000W generator will give you about 10 amps. Your normal RV air conditioner will draw 12-15.
There shouldn't be any danger of running without the air conditioner freon in it. Except for when it is really hot outside and you are sweating like crazy. (Just kidding)
i think it is when it's like done it goes to waste
The word, 'air conditioner' is a noun. The definition of air conditioner is a machine that controls the humidity and temperature of the air.
Air conditioners consume energy to cool the air, but they don't necessarily waste it. The efficiency of your air conditioner, the size of the space it's cooling, and how well the space is insulated can all impact how much energy it uses. Regular maintenance and proper usage can help minimize energy waste.
