I have a 34' Tail-gator 5th wheel with separate garage. In temps well above 100 I can drop it about 30+ degrees in about 1.5 hrs. This trailer seems to be insulated better than the WW I used to have. It's ducted and I shut off the vent in the garage. The interior cover on the a/c has been replaced with one that has vents on either side that close to push it all through the ducts or open the to get more air into the living room. The open style toyhaulers without ducts are hard to cool. My WW was that way and it never worked as well as this setup.
To run 2 a/c's min would be a 5500.
I agree, WW's lacking in R value. Must be the reason they are prewired for a second a/c with 5500 gens. My 26' has 50 amp service. Although it does a fair job of cooling, it does cool down the 20* from outside ambient. But it would take all day at cooling down a hot interior at 100*. I usually fire off the genset and turn on the ac way before I get to my destination.
Unfortunately.. My featherlite wasn't equipped with a generator (tongue already weighs 1300) and my TV is a van so I cant run a generator underway.
I know my NV4500 manual transmission has a PTO.. Wonder if anyone makes a PTO generator for it?
