I did not catch the 'only 2 air units' and that they are 13.5 btu's. I would say it is definitely not enough just from our experience. Our previous 42 ft. coach had three 15.0 btu units and they could handle very hot days and I couldn't imagine having less in that coach which was a step up from a Dutch Star (Monaco Dynasty).
We now have four 13.5 btu units. It's not that we need all four going, but if one were to quit working, I still have three.
In our new coach design, the venting is perfectly designed so that the maximum efficiency can utilize a 13.5 unit vs. a 15.0 btu unit. 13.5 btu units have a lower profile and are quieter.
If a third unit could be added to the Dutch Star, then I would put it back into the running.
