I think the easier and more aesthetic install would be to disassemble one of the free standing units designed to vent out of a window via a vent hose. It looks like one could be made to fit behind or under a rear bed venting out behind the spare tire and blowing cooled air into the GMC down the main hallway. The ones we use in our building (no need for AC in So. oregon except for a couple of weeks each year because it nearly always cools off at night) are quiet and do a good of cooling even large spaces if left running long enough. They are also inexpensive enough for such an experiment and the running amp draw is down in the 9 to 12 amp range (use one of the soft start units) so could be run through an inverter with a large enough battery bank or perhaps off of a 15 amp shore power line or via a small 2kw portable generator.

We actually had a 12k Mini Split in our old house that was 110V. It was the largest 110v unit I could get. If I remember it was a Fujitsu.
