The Class B information came from an early replier claiming a Class B manufacturer had an electric option model that could run the air-conditioner for 8 hours, and recharge the battery-bank in 20 minutes.

Roadtrek calls their E-Trek a "Class B" all electric RV. Here they claim testing shows running of the air conditioner for 9 to 15 hours (select the "E-trek Operation FAQs"):
