Another thing you run into if it does not have a vent is the rafters are not reinforced for the weight of a A/C. My rafters are 2x2 with a 1x2 making up the top curved portion. Another issue is lack of wiring to install a second A/C. You can upgrade to a 15k if you have a 13.5, park in the shade, thermal window coverings, limit using the door, cook outside, hot showers and hair drier to the cooler parts of the day and run a fan for air circulation.

This is how Arctic Fox trailers are built. Mine was supposed to be second AC ready but they goofed and didn't reinforce the roof for it (it did have the wiring). Had to go back to the factory where they ripped the roof off and re-framed the area.

When I redecked my roof I sistered new rafters to the existing ones doubling the strength then put the new decking on. Another thing I found after tearing the old roof and decking off was a large area with no insulation. I don't know if they ran out and simply put the deck on or to lazy.
