thomasmnile,
Being in very hot and humid Florida, I would hope you had ordered the optional Glacier Package on your WhiteHawk as it's almost a must. $179 option (2011 price) and that's very cheap and well worth it.
The Glacier Package is this:
The floor has a layer of foil bubble wrap added inside the enclosed and sealed bottom increasing the floor R-value to R-22. The roof will have a layer also over the fiberglass insulation increasing the R-value to R-26 and especially effective in sunny hot locations. The front, rear, and side walls remain the same as without the Glacier Package.
Without the Glacier Package, the roof is R-8, all vertical walls are R-5, and the floor is R-7. Not nearly adequate insulation R-value for very hot Florida.
Florida climate and heat is tough on A/C cooling and your trailer is not small and has a large slideout also.
