Air conditioner size
Will a 13.5 AC be enough for a 29ft trailer? Most temps under 100 but occasionally up to 105 thx

What makes the answer even more complicated is that one can have too LARGE an a/c because if it cools too fast it doesn't dry the air and you end up with cool clammy air! I vote for 13.5.
We also find an oscillating fan helpful to move the cool air around.
Given the poor insulation of all trailers, the 13.5 is inadequate in all but the smallest trailer. It's possible in theory to get the space so cold that the AC short cycles, but you are never going to see that in a trailer. More is always better and in Nevada, you are going to need every BTU of cooling that you can get, and no, it doesn't matter if it's "dry heat", it's still heat and has to be removed from the trailer for you to be comfortable.With the 15KBTU AC being about a $150 option, that's a no brainer, you'll be comfortable and it will help the resale value of the trailer.
