These unheard of high temps presented me with an opportunity to test out the A/C in my old trailer. The ducted Coleman Mach III is 17 years old, as is the 24' stick and tin trailer it's installed in.
With temps hovering around 108 inside and out, I was hopeful but not very optimistic. The trailer was about 3/4 shaded. After one hour, interior temps had already dropped almost 15 degrees. After two, the interior temp was 80 - 82 depending on where measured. At that point I was feeling a little guilty about hogging power and shut down my little experiment.
I'm very happy with the results and am no longer nervous about adventures to the south in the summer.
Based on some of the stuff I've read here, I thought it was worth sharing.
They built Air Conditioners better back then. I don't know how or why but the old ones work better then the newer ones. The new ones are probably more electric efficient though.
