If it is not prepped and the interior is finished it is tough. Look for a trailer that is prepped and it is almost plug and play.

I replaced my AC unit 2 years ago.. it does need the reinforcement around the unit and the power up to it.. the switch on both of mine was built into the AC unit so it just needed the 120v... also I dont know if you sleep in your trailer but IF you do put in the AC look at the ones with the heater built in.. if you are in any northern areas

Window AC units are way cheaper and I believe take less power to run than rv units 8428142-ACTT.jpg (81 downloads) Sworn Member Central Valley MoPar Drag Pack.
