Re: Portable vs. Window AC...the never ending debate

I now have a 8000 btu window AC I bought on sale last year from lowes for 160.00 and I used it this weekend and it worked great,I had to turn it down at night because it got to cold,the portable ac I had was a 12000 btu and it never would cool down my trailer until after dark and then during the day it hardly worked at all.
I have mine in the rear wall that has wheels so I can open and close it.
I was afraid I was going to have to buy another honda 2000 generator because I need to also charge my golf cart at night but I did a test and 1st I got the AC running and cooling the trailer and then pluged in the golf cart charger and it has worked fine.
I don't think I would go any lower than a 8000 btu,I like the fact that in about a hour my 7x16 is really cool,before with the portable AC I was just wasting gas trying to get the trailer cool unless it was after dark.
