Why run the trailer ac going down the road?
The original poster mentioned wanting to eat lunch in a comfortably cool trailer for a quick stop along the road; that's one reason it may be wanted to run the air conditioner in the RV while traveling, and not entirely unreasonable.
A second is that it can take a good length of time to cool down once one reaches one's destination if traveling in quite hot conditions, and having a "head start," so to say, helps with that a lot.
I suppose a third might be if one's carrying something temperature sensitive in the RV, such as a pet. (Yes, you can argue that it's usually more appropriate to carry a pet in the tow vehicle, but there may well be reasons why that's impractical.)
