Ive got a 30 ft ragen and it has a single a/c and have been thinking about leaving the trailer at the river and was unsure how the a/c will handle in 110 degree heat. let me hear your input before i drag the trailer out there and leave it.

The generator can't handle the heat. Hopefully you have power hookups. The Ac will work but you will still be warm inside because of the thin walls and big space to cool. Take a few box fans to help!!

Will only be about 10 degrees cooler inside the box then out. The gen will be fine, I had my old Onan 4.0 in 120 degree non-stop.

Two ac units will help, fans for sure to help cool you off. Usually you can get 20 deg below ambient outside temps with two units on your 30. maybe a little better than my 40.

I had an 18 ftr and a single a/c could knock 20 degrees at best off outside temp.My 21ftr is about 15 degrees at best.

Yours will do fine at night but will most likely be bad during the day.You can put up the foil covered stuff on the windows,foam in the vents,and do not go in and out often during the day and this will help out alot.Especially if your trailer gets cold at night son now you have a headstart for the daytime.When i do this with my current trailer i can keep trailer under 83 inside when its 110 outside.But let it get too warm by leaving door open it wont come close.Takes hours to cool only minutes to heat up
what hurts?
I have the 27P Ragen with one ac unit. During the summer night rides I cover all the windows with silver bubble wrap and cover all the vents with the covered foam thingy's. Then drop the rear bed & hang sleeping bags down to the floor and slide the curtain closed thus reducing the area needed to cool. It really helps, if you go in the back under the bed it is definately warmer. it will be a lot cooler inside than outside but still a little warm to comfortable, night time will be cold tho. I just don't like running the gennie that long.....

Mine are always in the trailer...work fine.

26' and i was out at the river last weekend when it was 120 outside and 85 inside. every now and then switch over to fan becouse the coils will freeze up. then switch it back to AC.
remember camping out there in tents with no AC, how did we get so spoiled?

If they shipped the flat screens in air conditioned ships from china I would be concerned.
