For several years we camped in a home-converted B-minus. This was on a short wheelbase ford van with tall top for standing head room. We had a 5000 btu AC unit mounted in the back wall of the top, and the cooling capacity was inadequate in hot weather. We never used it while driving(no generator)and it took forever to cool down the vehicle after stopping and hooking to shore power. These vans are not very well insulated, and even with added insulation, the heat gain in hot weather is severe. For the size van you have purchased I would suggest no less than 10,000 to 12,000 BTU.
