Buying our first camper and have a AC question

Hello all!

We at buying our first camper and the biggest question I have right now is about the AC.

We are looking at buying a 2017 Starcraft Launch 17QB. It has a 8000 BTU side mount AC.

Is this until large enough for summer trips to the Florida Beaches?

Thanks in advance!

    That's a small trailer with no slide and few windows....so an 8K AC might be ok...
    Do they offer a bigger one as an option? If so get it. AC's in trailers are notoriously weak. The bigger the better.

    Sounds small for that use. My trailer has a 13.5 BTU roof unit and sometimes struggles in hot climates.
