Everybody still thinks that running it just a couple hours during the day and during the night isn't worth bothering with.
15 minutes after you shut it down for the day, the interior of your RV will be pretty close to the same temperature as it is outdoors - Or maybe even hotter if you're parked in the sun.

Not to mention only running it for "15 minutes" does nothing to reduce the humidity level in your RV. Dropping the temp a degree or two while it sounds helpful in the end if you are dealing with high temps AND high humidity levels you only did HALF of the job to make it comfortable.
Unless you are living and camping in the desert you must remove not only some of the heat but humidity also. It is the HIGH HUMIDITY that really makes high temperatures feel uncomfortable.
It takes time for a A/C to remove a lot of humidity, more than 15 minutes and when you shut the A/C off and open the windows you are now inviting the outside air with high humidity back in.
There are times and places where you can sort of use A/C that way, like if it is dipping into the low 60Fs or lower at night and you are getting a nice breeze.. But not so well on July/August nights in places when you often have upper 80Fs and higher with boat loads of humidity and now breeze at all..
