2nd A/C without existing provisions
I have read many posts about adding a 2nd a/c in rigs with rough-in provisions for it. My trailer has none. Anyone out there who has cut their own roof opening and added a unit? Would love to hear you...

The added bracing required for the weight of the unit will not be there. I would not do it.
I plan to add bracing. Was looking for suggestions such as adding doublers to the joists.
Most trailer bumpers are not constructed for towing or adding bike racks, yet many people modify them to perform.
In order to properly brace it, you would need to open the ceiling wall to wall or peel the roof off. You will need to add bracing to the trusses/roof roof structure from wall to wall. It is not simply adding blocking between trusses.
