My 25' coachmen trailer had a 12,000 btu single roof unit and it had no problem handling everything from Florida to New Mexico summers. I like it cold too, but we'd have to cycle that thing down to low. I don't remember the brand though.

There are calculations that can be found. The risk of a too large AC is that it short cycles and does not dehumidify. Our 5,000 BTU adapted window shaker cools out 400 cubic foot tear very well.
