Let’s say we just got to the campsite. Started setting up the site and realized how hot it was inside the camper. The question is, in a travel trailer with no generator, can I run the A/C while I’m...

This is not a practical idea.
Battery is not for running the AC unless you have a huge battery bank, and in that case a person with a huge battery bank would not be seeking advice from a form, he would already be knowledgeable on the subject just front the build process.
batteries will get depleted quickly from using such a huge load like AC unit. Batteries will have a short life.
The best solution presented here is to stop, turn on generator and run AC a few mins before you have the camper parked in the spot. Maybe when you stop to check in you can turn it on and by the time you get to your spot and back in the AC will have cooled it down. It is just wasteful to run an AC for hours while driving so you do not have to wait 5 or 10 mins at the campground initially to have a cool coach.
This thread is getting quite silly
