Question-Can I use my roof mounted a/c in my stationary rv

Hello,
While I'm new to RV.NET, I'm not new to forums in general.
I have a question regarding whether or not,it would be a safety issue to use my rooftop mounted (working) a/c unit to cool my '87 Franklin 35 ft., STATIONARY travel trailer, that has had a wood framed, pitched metal roof added 10 plus years ago.
There is also at the opposite end of the roof, an attic exhaust fan (currently not hooked up to power.).
Can I/should I attempt to use this now enclosed a/c unit, only if I use the exhaust fan at the same time, to avoid overheating..., or should I just scrap the whole idea of using the roof top a/c, altogether..?
I have talked to a licensed electrician, who was not sure if it was legal (in the state of NH) or not, but declined, because he did not want to risk his license.
Any thoughts or advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you.

Run the AC and exhaust fan at the same time.
