To summarize, it depends:
- Shade vs no shade
- Can you close off a section to reduce cooling needs
- How humid is it

You could run an extension cord to the 15amp plug on the pedestal so you don't overload the 30amp outlet. Most of the time it probably wouldn't be needed.
If you are buying and planning to stay in Arizona, I would probably go for a rig with 2 air/con units built in. Temps above 110 are common in many areas of the state and even with some of the tricks listed a single unit may not be enough.
