One investment that would recommend is a boom tent and covers for the fixed ports. This cuts the amount of light and the "greenhouse" effect of the cabin.
Yeah, but on a dock, won't you normally have shore power?

Some docks do, but a lot of private docks I've seen have no power to them. So, it really depends on where he keeps the boat.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

The cruiseair is a good solution but I would prefer a diesel generator as I dont like to carry gasoline as well as diesel fuel and the cruise air doesnt require lot of amps.

Genset opinion
Put the money into renewable energy( solar and wind generator). Don't need the genset. I've lived onboard Decision, equipped with a Westerbeke genset, for 5 years, in Clearwater Beach, Fl. It's never run on anchor, gets run for periodic maintenance only. The ac is run at the dock on marina power but never at anchor. We prefer quiet peaceful anchorages. Solar and wind provide all our energy needs.
