If that was the goal, it would first pay to improve insulation, install better windows, etc. If built right and energy efficient, a smaller RV could be cooled by a single high-efficiency air conditioner. Since it would cycle on and off a lot at night, I’d roughly estimate it could run 24 hours on about 20~25 kWh, maybe less depending on weather. That’s well within the battery capacity of a plug-in hybrid vehicle the size needed for a camper conversion.
