First thing I'd do is in the morning set the thermostat at 70-72. If you set it a 79, by the time it comes on trailer walls, interior air etc. is already hot and trying to bring it down is very hard If you can start the morning at 70 or so the AC will start working against a low temp and be able to hold it longer before it starts to rise.
Now where we are it usually cools off to at least low 70's at night, often the mid 60's. so the trailer outside and inside is cooled down by morning. And then the sun has to heat everything back up, helps on the AC load. if we were where it only got to the 80's at night, I suspect we'd have a hard time getting the trailer to the low 70's by morning and it would heat up quick.
My take is that many of the larger trailers are shipped with inadequate AC units. 20ft one AC fine, 30 ft, one AC unit, southern temps day and night..... another story.
