30-foor MH (with big windows) here, single 15K heat pump.
My experience is it depends on where you are and where you can park. In moderate climates, or maybe even the desert if you can manage to be shaded, a single 15K BTU might keep up with the solar heat load. In places where it is hot, sunny, and humid, it might not keep up. The A/C has to do a lot more work condensing moisture from the air before it can cool the air below dew point.
Mine does fine in 80F Michigan summer heat, sun or shade. In 90-105 F high humidity, full sunlight conditions we have on the central plains and down into Texas, the best I can hope for is to cool the interior down into the high 80s unless I can find a fully shaded place to park. Once the sun goes down, I can cool the interior as much as anyone wants, even when it is still in the low 100s outside.
