All a/c drain based on the amount of moisture in the air. Even the small ones will drain almost constantly on a high humidity day.
Sealing to the camper as you mention seems fine. Just make sure you tilt the unit back a couple of degrees to make sure there is always a good tilt to the back.
Now, the only way to make sure the a/c had enough cool air to function, would be to put a box the same size as the unit so all the air coming out the back of the unit doesn't mix with the air being pulled into the sides of the unit. Seal this box to the vent. Then the air being pulled into the outside side vents should be pulled from the outside through the vent. There should be enough outside draft or simple air rising to minimize the air mixture outside the unit, at least to a minimum.
Or, you could use fans to make sure the air is coming in through the vent, but you would need at least two or three 100 cfm fans to move enough air. Would be easier to and more reliable to just add the box imo.
