How do replace my AC unit with a Maxxair fan?

I got rid of the rotten old AC unit and want to replace it with a Maxxair. Problem is I don't know how to wire it.
Do I have to run all new wire to the battery (or wherever it runs to) or can I use the same wire but convert it somehow to connect to the Maxxair? I suspect it will be hard to run new wire through this ceiling.
The existing wire from the AC says its
12/2 WG, 600 V, (UL), ETTCOFLEX, TYPE NM

I think the AC only ever ran on shore power. So I'm not sure if this will even connect to the RV marine battery.
Any tips?
Thanks.
