Ac upgrade

[stansoper]

I have a 2015 Wildwood 29fkbs (35') travel trailer. It has a 13,500 BTU Dometic AC. Not wired for 2nd AC (30 amp). We love the layout, but the AC struggles to keep the unit cool. Needless to say I wish it was a 15,000 BTU. Even better 2 AC units and 50 amp service. Would upgrading to a 15,000 BTU unit help much? Seems to be the only feasible option. Looking at the Dometic Brisk II 15,000 BTU unit.

I have a 2016 VLite 30WIKSS (35', one Coleman Mach 15,000 btu ac) with 30 amp. roof was built to add a second a/c but not wired. I called Coleman and they recommended adding a 13,500 btu, non-ducted unit. I snaked 10 gauge wire to a female reciprocal I installed. Now I plug in the a 25', 10 gauge extension cord. First test was last week in the Smoky Mountains in 90 degree heat. Worked great!
Did the install in about 3 hours. Most of the time was removing the existing vent and removing the factory caulking.

Beleive it or not, my unit does not have a roof vent in the bedroom because of the slide.[emoji31] Not an option for me.
