5 Air Conditioners?
On some of the big bus-based Class A's going down the road, I see what looks like 5 A/C units on top. Are they all A/C's?

No air conditioners at all, but I suspect that you are right, 5 heat pumps.
They used to have several engine run air conditioners on a bus like that, but it consumes engine power, is very expensive, and less reliable than a rooftop unit.
Still the drivers compartment has engine run A/C unit, as well as dash heater from engine hot water, due to the requirement to have defroster that has a cooling coil on it. Might be one or two auxiliary rear A/C units run by the engine only (like car air conditioner), but probably not any due to all the rooftop units, and space needs.
It is not uncommon to have a 20 KW diesel generator on a Provost RV. Now days that is vented through the roof, so in a crowded camping situation, you will not smell the generator exhaust on the ground.
The TV show I was watching, they had a optional $125,000 slide out! I have no idea why the manufacture charges $125,000 more to install a slide out, but they can!
