Okay Dan,
Welcome to my country.
I don't have a motorhome, and not gone searching for websites related to motorhomes but I imagine there are a few. People would have personal websites too. I'm sure there are motor
home users associations and clubs, but if you approach these groups do it in a different way you have here otherwise the result will be the same.
By being honest and low key with this
forum you MAY be able to build your credibility to get better responses, but the participants tend to be people planning trips themselves and in the past businesses trying to research through the
forum haven't got very far. So what I am saying is this group may not be the best place to ask for the information you need. However you may learn a great deal by searching the archives and reading the postings to get a feel for what users of this group need - listening and lurking, not asking.
The other way is to do what you are doing at
Easter and actually get out there and hang out in caravan park/camping grounds to see how motorhome users actually use their vehicles. Don't forget to enjoy the experience whilst you're researching your work.
I's my observation that motor
home users with airconditioners fitted stay in a caravan park when they wanted to use the air cond, or carry a big generator to run the thing. You've got the responses from the very experienced battery/electrics experts on this
forum that all say the idea of running an air cond off batteries is simply not a realistic option for technical reasons.
