Air Conditioner

I live in Tucson,AZ the noise from a 13,500 BTU in sometimes annoying even on low.I bought a LG 9000btu portable which my Honda EU2000i runs with no problem and it cools the same as a 13,500 except when the trailer has been not used and is hot inside it takes about 30 minutes to cool down.The LG takes about an hour but once it is, it maintains 75 degrees nicely.I think 10,000 btu would be just fine for trailer's up to 22ft.

well you don't want it too big as you want it running a lot of the time since you aren't taking out humidity when it isn't running.

I've never seen a trailer that was over cooled by a 15K BTU air conditioner. I don't understand why the 13.5K models are used at all.
Theoretically, you can have so much air conditioning that the unit will short cycle and not dehumidify, but I've never seen that happen in a trailer. If you think you have too much AC, spend a couple of weekends on the Texas coast in August.

Cost. It's always about cost. They can buy their a/cs in bulk and save money.

Remember, tt are not insulated as well as new homes. I have yet to see anyone complain about having too big A/C. Same s tooooo much truck. No such thing.

You can always turn it down or off. Nut, when you're sitting in 115 temps, ie Las Vegas and Badlands, you will be happy to have too much A/C.

Better too much than not enough. One can always turn it down but high is as high as they go.
