Adding 2nd Air Conditioner

Hi, we have a new to us Forest River 8289 WS 5th Wheel which we love. The one a/c is not sufficient to keep up with our severe Florida heat. I want to add a 2nd unit in one of the existing vent cutouts. The preferred location (bedroom) has a fairly significant slant towards the trailer tongue. This would put the nose of the new a/c unit sloped down toward the tongue. Two questions:
1. Will these RV units operate okay being so far out of level.
2.Will the A/C drain correctly when slanted forward this way?
Thanks in advance,

That slope on your Rockwood isn't as bad as you may think. They put the factory installed units in that vent opening so they work fine in that location.

Does your unit say that it's prewired for a second A/C?
