Thanks for the input everyone.
OK, guess it's normal then.
If I ever have to replace it, I'll put in a 15K unit.
A 15k unit will help but only marginally.
We have a 32ft with double slides and a single 13.5K Coleman.
If we are in the sun with the awning side facing east, it's brutal, inside drops about 15F sometimes less when temps hit over 100 and direct sun all day. And it hits 80 or so by late morning.
If we are in the sun with awning side facing west, as long as the awning is out even in 100F we can keep the inside in the mid to high 70's and it doesn't hit that till late afternoon. Awning keeps the afternoon sun off the side windows and trailer.
If the front of the trailer faces west, can keep the inside below 75 easily all day, AC will cycle on and off.
Front of the trailer facing east, trailer will stay below 75 but stay on all afternoon, Rear of the AC has a huge window.
And I have mesh window screens on the outside that help a great deal.
Trailers this size really need dual air.
Now, it's maybe a few days/year we have temps like this, some years non at all in the summer with max temps where we camp in the mid 80's in which case the AC does fine for us.
