Alternatives: Chain dog to outside of trailer and toss doggy pad/bed underneath trailer in shade. The ground will be 58-60f and dogs cool off by digging a hole or laying on the ground.

Research how to mount a window A/C or an A/C split system into your trailer. The draw and current total will be less than a roof mounted RV A/C. You'll still need a generator or massive solar and batteries.

From your post, it seems like the dog's condition is paramount and not so much, the owner. A dog can get along in a lot more severe weather conditions than a human. Your doggo will probably be just fine if left outside where he can seek shade and cover from rain and snow. Have you thought about building him a doghouse? Dogs seem to always be more relaxed if they can lay/hang out in their own space.
