The rooftop RV Air C0nditioner does not use the battery at all to power anything, there is a transformer in the coach that reduces the 120 volts to 12 volts to the thermostat for safety, but that is never ran by the battery if without high voltage supplying the
12 v control voltage, in fact you can remove the battery and it will have zero effect upon the roof top unit.
The propane furnace with it's 12 volt blower motor will run off the battery alone but not for long, you will need 6 x 6 volt golf cart batteries to use 12 volt power very long, no single 12 volt deep cycle battery has sufficient capacity to single handedly operate much for long.

2003 Mitsubishi Galant 2.4L 4-cyl is having trouble holding a charge on the battery. Tests say battery and alternator is OK. I checked fuses and they were good. I can jump the car but after I drive it...

Most likely you have something draining the battery. Quick way to tell, disconnect the ground (negative) cable to the battery, let it sit for a few hours, then reconnect it and try to start it. If it starts OK, you know the battery is holding a charge, but something is draining it.
To drain it in just a few hours requires a serious draw, like headlights or the cooling fan. It is possible that your cooling fan (behind the radiator) is staying on all the time. Often they are controlled by a thermostat, and will run for a few minutes after you shut off the engine, but it should shut off within about five minutes. If it is still running after ten or more minutes, you have a bad fan thermostat or a bad fan relay. If that is not the problem, you will have to get someone with an ammeter to measure the current draw, and start pulling fuses until you find the culprit.

My HTC smartphone wont turn on or charge and when I plug it in it shows a red light instead of an orange one. Do you know why?

Have you tried leaving it to charge (with the red light on) for a few hours. The red light usually means a completely drained battery that needs a few minutes/hours to recharge.
Also, try cleaning the battery connectors with a rough toothbrush...
