If you've been showering or boiling water inside the trailer, the A/C units will be dumping a lot of water off the roof for a while until the relative humidity inside the trailer drops back down. This is also related inversely to why evaporative A/C units ("swamp" coolers) won't work in regions where humidity is high.

I've seen the swamp coolers in North Texas and they work fairly well buy you will never see them in the southern part of the state because of the 90 and 100 percent humidity. They don't call Houston the air conditioning capital of the world for nothing.
