Most ranger size trucks are limited to popups from what I have seen at campgrounds but you'll need to do the math.
The window air unit will be plenty for that size camper.
I would ask for a better battery capacity since your likely to be dry camping (two class 27's or two 6v) as part of the deal. this will give you the 3 days or so of power your looking for without recharging with a genny or solar if your conservative with your furnace use.
Good Luck and check back in if you need help!
