35 and 1/2 foot TT with 3 slides here with a single 15,000 AC. Works great. We replaced the original 12,500. It just couldn't do it. Now granted, we camp mostly North of the Mason-Dixon line, so our summer temperatures are no comparison to Florida or Texas. So we do Florida in the winter.
But you take half the trailer (say 18 feet) and half the BTU (say 7,500), the cooling capacity would probably do just fine.... even in Texas summer.
The item that is more important than the cooling power of the AC is the insulation of the RV itself. If the insulation is good, a "lesser" AC will do well. If it's not insulated good, even a strong AC will not keep up. 99% of the comfort level of any RV is the insulation properties of the camper itself, and it's windows, and cracks and air leaks.
