I'll first issue the disclaimer that I don't a CampLite. I do have a home built teardrop trailer so I'm not completely speculating on the topic.

First, there are "through wall" air conditioning units that have the condenser intake and exhaust at the back of the unit. There is no intake on the sides. I believe the smallest unit is 8,000 Btuh. One of these could be used flush in a Quicksilver. The through wall units are substantially more expensive than window units.

In the teardrop world many have adapted window units. One common installation is to have the front of the unit recessed.  This creates the same challenge as in the Quicksilver where the window unit extends beyond the sidewalk. As a previous poster mentioned, a deflector or short duct is necessary to keep the cold supply air from being pulled back into the intake. (The recess or overhang seems to direct it that way). I think it is worth a try if you have this situation. Separating the flows should in improve the performance of the unit.
