If I was planning on cooling a 10-16 ft. WELL insulated box van, I'd use an AC with the lowest power draw, a 5K or 6K unit. I have an 8K unit in a tent trailer and it will freeze you out in the summer in the Midwest. I ran it at night for comfortable sleeping and would turn it off during the wee hours. With a lower power draw, you'd be entering the realm of solar power use for that and the money not spent on a generator could be spent on solar, inverter, and batteries.
