I put a 5000 btu unit in a 6 x 14 v nose cargo trailer conversion a few years ago. It really struggled to keep it cool when outside temps got above 85. A rooftop 13.5k unit would have been preferable.
The project was fun. Enjoy.
Thanks. I'm going to be building a 7 x 14 conversion and I'm only interested in cooling the front half where I'll be sleeping. The trailer will have doors at the rear and the back half will be open with insect netting across the opening during warmer weather. Once I'm setup that's where my kitchen will be since most of my cooking will be outdoors anyway. I'll be building a cabinet with sink that swings 90° so it will take up most of the opening. If I felt the need to cool the entire trailer I'd probably go with a 7000 to 8000 btu. I have a pop up with an AC on top that I've never used. The conversion will be replacing it.
