Coleman 13.5K to 15K upgrade?
Two reasons I am considering this even though it runs fine. First, it does have it's limits on a hot humid day, and tended to ice up in Utah. Second is I want something a few inches lower so I don't ...

Switched ours after 1 year. Trailer is 30 amp. Air conditioner ran just fine. However I do need to watch the amp draw so often run our water heater on propane rather than Electric and that takes care of the problem. Big difference in the cooling Factor and our camper is 35 ft long. The unit is all one piece and the wiring will need to match because it will be a plug that simply plugs into existing wire in your camper so that has to match. You may have to do some minor adjustments to get the ductwork to match. Getting it on the roof is the hardest part. Good luck.
We have found that even with the 15,000 unit we still run the central blast from the air conditioner in the main part of the coach and shut the bedroom off and bathroom off. Only once has it been so hot for us that we pulled the slides in to reduce the space. When we did that the air conditioner did just fine. There was only one occasion when we had to do that in the last 3 years.
I might clarify that we use the central blast only after we've traveled and the trailer is extremely hot on the inside. This cools the main living area much faster than the ductwork. Also when returning after a very busy day and we are extremely hot if we flip on the blast and stand directly underneath it it cools us wonderfully.
