ok so although your peak demand is 1.2kw your average consumption is more in the region of 700w (0.7kw) that would halve the required battery's. so 7 rather than 15 should be sufficient. but I would be putting in 10 if it were my van.

I'm having gas installed on the van to power the coffee machine and water boiler. I'm not sure that the EHO would approve of me using coal or wood
It's a farce really all the weight you take there uses energy that has to be generated by some means . I bet there is a massive car park too.
I suspect he was going to configure them as 2 banks of 6v in parallel, giving the equivalet of 2 x 110Ah 12v batteries in parallel. its not going to make a big difference to the cost or size requirements however you must remember that every week you will have to top these batteries up with distilled water, so make sure they are easy to access.
my best guess is they would be dead in around 4 hours

sorry to be the bearer of bad news but maths is maths and the sums add up to a lot of batteries!!
I’ve had a few instances recently at events where traders who initially said they don’t need power as they have their own inverters, come asking for a feed as their batteries are drained or cut out when refrigeration compressors kick in. On the upside, this typically results in free food and beverages.
