Second, a generator is an absolute must have. If you want to run A/C then a 3000+ watt unit is the right size.
Make sure the fridge is on "Auto" or Gas. As long as you have propane it will run as normal. Lights are 12v and will run from the battery. Water pump is 12v but you may be hooked up to the neighbor's supply. In that case no worries.
I'd recommend checking the incoming power first. If there is no voltage there then get a generator set up while you still have battery power and daylight.
Just remember, these RV's are made for dry camping. All will be well
Keep us posted with how you're doing.
"All will be well!" til the batteries go dead. The fridge, water heater will run on LP but must have 12 volts to power the control boards.
If by some odd chance there's an outdoor plug on the barn separate from where you're plugged in & you have or borrow a battery charger you could get by with the basics, but no air or microwave or other 120 volt powered items.
