Not a TH owner yet-AC question

Hello folks. Have never owned an RV. Me and wifey are empty nesters and it looks like we are going to take the plunge. I have spent a few hours reading on this forum...great people and info source.

We are looking for 30ft-ish bumper pull. NEED 10ft garage, AND it be able to keep me cool. I don't want it struggling to keep 75 degrees. Everything else is a WANT.

A primary purpose for TH will be camping on the beach without hookups...in Texas. I feel like we need 2 AC's for our hot and humid June/July/August. So that would require 50 amp RV with 5500 gen.

My questions:
-Am I wrong thinking I need 2 AC's?
-Are 30 amp RV's retrofitable to 50 amp?
-Would like to buy used, am I just dreaming?

    Good point, need to know more about fuel consumption of 5500 generator
  • You can't have enough a/c's. The insulation on a trailer is pretty thin compared to your home so the a/c will have to work to compensate. Two might do the trick. Keep the windows to a minimum and dual-pane them if available. Best wishes on your search.
