I agree for most campers. For example, a large popup in full sun on a hot day. No insulation (maybe some in the roof), lots of holes where all the slideouts are, and tenting that basically has a negative R value since it allows air to pass through. Our popup had a 15000 btu unit and could at least keep the main part of the camper cool on hot days in direct sun. The rest of the time it could freeze you out.
The pods on the other hand are about the best possible situation. Good insulation, enclosed, few holes, etc. Even the ones with tent-ends are 10 times better than a popup.
