Depending on size of rig and temperature extremes, a lot of small rigs have gone to split-level air conditioners.
How much more efficient are the "efficient" Dometics. Our 13,500 BTU takes almost 2 kW from our solar/battery suite and we really cannot run more than 4 hours a day.
We pretty much go by MexicoWanderer's advice : north or up in elevation in summer/reverse in winter. It was 105 at son's place in Fort Collins 3 or 4 years ago. We went up to 10,400' near Long Draw Reservoir and it was 38 F at night and 75 F during the day "Just Right!"
