I would pull the battery and take it somewhere to be tested. A battery store may be best. After using the camper charge the battery all the way up. Get yourself a volt meter. Should be able to find one for less than $20. The key is to charge it after using it as soon as possible.
The way you are using the camper it sounds to me that you need a generator. Actually 2 if your A/C needs more than 2000 watts. After buying a single big generator I found that 2 smaller 2,000 watt gens are more versatile. If you just need to charge batteries in the field you can use a good heavy duty extension cord and set the gen away from the camper. If you need the A/C you can run the 2 gens parallel with a factory kit. The 2 smaller 2,000 watt gens are much easier to move around than one big one. You may also get an extended run kit that will run the 2 gens for a couple days without refueling. IPI makes several. https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=ipi+industries+extended+run
For gens Honda is considered the best by many but they're pricey. Yamaha is about the same price and quality. Smarter Tools, Champion, and Generac are worth looking at as well.
