Regarding the AC unit, as posted here, location is a large factor. In the northeast where humidity is a factor, I just cannot even think for a moment how awful any trailer would be with a solar load of the sun and then the impossibility of escaping humidity. I had a tent camper and if it was humid, it didn't matter what the fantastic fan pulled in, the cooling effect was nil.

So for me, the AC unit runs on nearly every camp out we go on. The heat strip is nice in the morning when I'm not boondocking.

I also agree with the other posts regarding the options that are roof mounted. It is worth having the antenna and AC due to the high cost involved with changing your mind later. All the options I purchased have "no regrets" and actually have a "thank God I bought that option" aspect to them. This includes tinted windows.
