"In my current 25 ft trailer, the 13.5 had trouble keeping it cool when it was over 100 outside."
Tells you how poorly the insulation and sealing is on your small only 25' long trailer having 13,500 btu's of cooling. Why? 100 degrees is 30 degrees over a comfortable 70 degrees and you have 13,500 btu's of cooling. However, 70 degrees minus 30 degrees is 40 degrees and using only one 5,000 btu electric cube will easily heat a reasonably insulated and sealed 25' long trailer to way over 80 degrees any time anywhere. Make you feel cheated and lied to, doesn't it?
Kind of self-explanatory and tells you distinctly abd factually that the manufacturer is/was not being truthful in their claims of 4 season use and/or well insulated with normal expected comfort or interior temps in their RV product.
Many manufacturers resemble lots of the salesman, when their lips are moving they are lying. Same with the BS they print in their brochures with no certifications of actual thermal chamber testings and why do people simply believe them until they find out the terrible real truths later? Too late as you have already made the purchase and they made their bank deposit and you aren't happy! You must demand proof as to the true test results certified before you believe their hype as so few have ever actually tested the RV units they build as it's expensive and takes time and they know you'll never question their lofty claims. It really sucks and it's you who must live with the real facts, not them! 1 btu is 1 btu and 1000 btu's is 1000 btu's whether heating or cooling.
One BTU (British Thermal Unit) is the amount of energy required to HEAT or COOL one pound of water by ONE degree F.
