While camping in Virginia this summer, my ac died. The days were running low 90s. I thought we were going to have to go home.
We went to Walmart and bought an 8000 btu window unit. I also had an 8000 btu portable unit that I plug in to an external outlet and vent out my laundry shoot in the bathroom. We leave the storage compartment door open.
So window unit downstairs, portable upstairs. It worked pretty decent. Temps up near the ceiling downstairs were mid 80s, but at couch level, about 76 to 78. Not super cool, but doable and we stayed 3 more weeks. As it is getting later in the season, I am not in a hurry to replace the rooftop ac. I have a 33' trailer on 30 amps and I think thr 15k btu was maxed out as it was. Now this is a 2004 trailer and ac, so maybe the newer ac would work better.
