Does anyone make an A/C larger than 15,000 BTU

Currently travelling around Eastern Europe. Insulation on Australian Caravans depends on the requirements. You do get Ice and temperatures well below freezing in quite a few places in Australia

Really? My 13.5, on my 29' TT, does a great job in the high heat, and humidity of a Myrtle Beach July day. (read 80% humidity, and 100+ degree F) As long as the doors aren't opening, and closing every 2 minutes, and in truth. The main door is always open, with the screen door shut. It has plastic sheeting (plexiglass) covering the screen. Maybe it's the superior insulation values of the AZDEL construction.

Wow, that's some AC. Your heat index would be 164 degrees.

You got that right.

The heat and humidity of Texas are things to feel sorry for and move away from. I'll take the high desert summer heat in OR, NV, and UT any day over that stuff. BTW, if you think TX is bad ... try the neighbors along the coast to the East - been to Texas and the Eastern neighbors in our RV in August and had the campgrounds and attractions to ourselves except for the mesquitos and cicadas. Misery times ten. :(

Humidity was probably negative so it does not count ;)

In Phoenix we hit 122. But it is a dry heat, just like your oven.

I suspect that a major problem with RV AC is that most RV manufacturers, most RV techs, and most RV customers, don't know what you're talking about.

You are correct as it is Greek to me (except the BTU and CFM), but there is NO REASON for anyone to know all that, unless you are trying to just show your knowledge and brag about it, when it has absolutely nothing to do with install and repair. Kind of like College professors that teach all day but have NO knowledge of the REAL practical experience out in the real world. Doug

Does 115F with 65% humidity (Xcalak Quintana Roo) qualify? Or 122F with 48% humidity (Ciudad Obregon Sonora) cut the mustard with Texan superiority?

Sir, please don't take it as Texan superiority, although we've earned the privilege of being thought of as arrogant. And in most cases, we probably have a right to be....;)

Those numbers would have me digging a deep cave and only coming out at night. Good grief!

The biggest problem with RV air conditioners is that they are designed to retrofit a roof vent opening- sending supply and return air through a shared 14" x 14" opening is tough.
