Just to play Devil's Advocate; perhaps the vehicle was not equipped with AC, and the owner happened to have a generator and wall AC already.
How much would one have to run the generator (and suffer aero inefficiencies) until they expend more resources than it would take to build and equip the vehicle with an AC?
Obviously this is an extreme engineering oddity, but I run 2 small AC window units in my 2100 sq/ft home. For my comfort level, they are barely adequate. But then again, I only feel the need to run them 20 days out of the year. Since they were given to me, it's much more efficient than building a whole house cooling system that wouldn't get a lot of use.
Again, not really arguing the practicality of using a generator and wall unit in a vehicle.
