Can a RV Air Conditioner System Be Used On a Car Hauler Trailer?

Question

Question:

I have an enclosed car trailer for my car racing. I’m interested in installing an ac however I’m not certain if trailer AC’s are specific different from RV. If such is the case do you have AC’s for car trailers?

While the same style AC used on an RV can be used on an enclosed car trailer you will need to work with the manufacturer to ensure the roof has the bracing needed to support the weight of the air conditioner since they weigh between 60-80lbs.

If your trailer manufacturer says your roof is braced for the weight you can look at installing either a 13.5K # ADV94FR or 15K # ADV64FR system.
