No, it is not necessary to use sealant when installing the Advent Air Rooftop RV Air Conditioner # ACM135C on your trailer. This unit is designed so that is not necessary because it has a thick gasket that prevents water from leaking in.

I have added a link to the written install instructions of this AC unit for you to take a look at.

For what you are looking for I would go with a 13.5k BTU AC unit for your Casita as basically you just need more BTUs. It's better to have a little more AC unit than needed then the opposite problem which is what you have now. So for that the…
