Small swamp coolers work great to blow on you. Hard to cool a trailer with them. I would focus on making your AC work better. Search youtube and you will find some mods.
Some ACs have the plastic shroud that restricts air flow. You can cut out portions of that plastic so the AC can vent off its hot air easier.
Another option is forming a temporary shade over the AC unit.
Use a box fan inside the trailer. Put a wet towel in front of the fan and it will cool the air slightly like a swamp cooler. You can buy the blue swamp cooler material at home D. I made my own 5gal bucket swamp cooler a few years ago. Worked on. Not enough air to cool the trailer. But the cool air blowing onto your body feels nice.
Is your AC ducted? If yes, you can screw computer fans in front of the ducts to help pull air through. I did that and liked the results. Helped to blow the cold air down to where i sit which happened to be below a duct.
