I've had my 31K (32 1/2' long) with a 15,000 BTU ducted air conditioner for 2 years, and have done all my "camping" in Florida, and have never had a problem with the one unit not being able to cool the MH. It has never run constantly and cycles on and off like my house AC.

X2, I live in Florida and have owned several Class C rig, 15K AC and heat pump was all I ever needed. Unless you are talking about a super C I see no need for a second AC. Largest heat loss thru windshield, a windsheild blanket with some insulation/reflection capabilities would go a long way if your parked in the sun. And yes at times the AC will continue to crank depending on the insulation capabilities of the rig but that should be fine.

I did 4 summers in Florida in a 31 ft.
One AC works just fine.

YOU just have to learn HOW to RV/camp in hot weather states to assist your AC. You could add 2 more AC's and if you don't to the following it will still be hot inside your RV! It's not a house. It is a big uninsulated box sitting in the sun. :B

When possible:
1.Find shade parking space

2.Face the side your awning is on to the west. so you can put your awning down to the lowest position to shade that side of the RV during the hottest part of the day.

Items to buy:
3. Pillow covers in all vent openings. Cover skylight in shower if you have once. AC cold goes right out the vents they are not air tight.

4. If the RV has white vent covers? Replace them with smoke colored ones.

5. MH's cover those windshields with sunshades. TT's cover the windows. On the east side in the morning and on the west side in the afternoon.

6. I bought removable limo tint and did all my windows. Looks professional and cut down the sun and I can still see out. REAL hot days I add van windshield sun shades under the day night shades. Makes a BIG difference.

And lastly the first summer I did in Florida the Mobile Repair Guy told me to get a de-humidifier. THAT made a REAL BIG difference on how cold the AC could get the inside.
