Went out for the first time since my last post where I had problems with it cooling down on the beach at 87 degrees with no shade.
This weekend, I went to the lakes where I had pretty good shade (hit and miss as the sun moved), but the temps were at least 10 degrees hotter (97-99). I also put a portable standing AC in the trailer (8000 or 9000 BTU) and vented it through the rear window.
It stayed cold day and night. Even in the hottest part of the day, the inside temp was about 74 or cooler) and at night it was probably below 70). Not sure what made the most difference, the portable AC or the partial shade. But the fact it was at least 10 degrees warmer give me an indication that I can definitely deal with it.
In fact, my biggest problem became condensation that dripped off some of the vents. The humidity was really high too.
