Air Conditioner Recommendation for V-Nose Enclosed Trailer
Question:
I have a 8.5foot x 16foot cargo trailer with a true V Nose. I have been having trouble keeping it cool with a portable unit. The trailer has insulation in the walls, but it is only 3/8inch styrofoam. My options are to take the trailer in and have a roof mount installed or setting up a mini split system. I am not sure that installing a roof top would be the right thing to do because I do not know if the roof top is designed for that. I also do not know how many BTUs would be needed to adequately cool the trailer. I would appreciate any advice on a correct cooling system for my trailer. Thank you,

Expert Reply:
A smaller RV air conditioner unit with a lower vent assembly would be your best option like the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box and Start Capacitor # ACM135BC. This puts out up to 13.5k BTU which would provide more than enough cooling power and also has a start capacitor which means less strain on your power supply. As long as your roof is between 2-1/2 inch and 5 inches thick this will fit and work great.
