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

As you can see, it depends. Our 30' has a 13.5K AC unit. As shipped from the factory I would have said NO!. However, once I got in and opened up the plenum, used foil tape around all the cracks where air could go from the ducts to the attic, added 4 more "Aireoport" vents into the ductwork. The answer is now YES. With the change we went from "almost adequate" to "barely adequate".
Now ours is NOT a true 4 season trailer. If yours is a REAL 4 season trailer, with thermopane windows and very good insulation with proper ducting etc. 13.5K may be fine as delivered.
But while it will get the unit cooled down it does take time. If you have an option of a 15K or two units, I'd go for it in a heartbeat.
If ours would have had a second air prep or 15K AC option I would have gone for it.
As far as comments on short cycling. Well if that is an issue along with humidity, then a portable dehumidifier will solve that problem in a heartbeat.
