So the questions are:

How many are too many batteries?
How long do you think these would run the ac? (I'm guessing two hours.)
I don't need solar, the v10 uses .68 gallons an hour at idle.

I'm not afraid of the weight...I'm afraid more than four might be futile.
This is an excercise in the 'because I damn well can' vein....
No such thing as too many batteries. LOl. Like saying "too much HP" or too big of .....well you get the idea.

Personally for the Axis size RV I think 4 or 6 would be plenty but it all depends on your boondocking and how much you want to spend on it.

Pretty hard to run AC on AGM's (IMO). Lithums is a better choice. And if you did you might only get a couple of hours out of 6 or 8 of them.... is that worth it for you?
