Kind of late now to be wondering if the AC you have will be sufficient for the south. ;)
It all depends on:
- how hot and humid it is outside
- if you are in the shade
- how cool you like / can tolerate it inside.
I like it cool inside and find that with my single 15k BTU AC on my 30' trailer with ducted roof vents, I need the shade in 95+ deg.F humid weather. In open bright sunshine with no shade, the 15k BTU AC will struggle to maintain 80 deg.F inside. I like it at 75 deg.F or a little less.
Bottom line - in the summer you need to be under the shade, and that goes double if you have the 13.5k BTU AC.
