I did a little research and a few calcs based on the most efficient compressors I know of-Danfoss.
The Danfoss is rated at about 1.4 watts/watt for heat removal capacity. Go through the conversions for a 10000btu AC and you would use about 235AH/hr of air conditioning. 3 hours would put you at more than 80% discharge, as others have said.
If Roadtrek is saying the batteries can run AC all day, they are counting on a very low duty cycle on the AC.
