Those articles above on the early use of lithium ion batteries in an RV are a bit dated.
Here's probably about the best way at this time to easily get going with a lithium battery bank in your RV:

Eight (8) of these plus a good pure sine wave inverter should handle battery powered air conditioning just fine - but boy, would that be expensive cool air:

Better still, since we're talking real money, get rid of that 120 volt RV air conditioner and replace it with one of these air conditioners, team it up with the lithium batteries, and eliminate the inefficiency of an inverter:
