I’ve tried using a 5000 BTU “window shaker” in desert heat in an 11.5 footer, it was totally inadequate.
Cars have low square footage but their AC systems are extremely powerful, usually somewhere around 30,000 - 40,000 BTU.
That’s because vehicles have less insulation, and people want them to cool off quickly when super hot.
It’s similar with campers. They come with seemingly oversized units for a reason.
