Suspect this is one of those things that are heavily dependent upon conditions.
Most days I don't even turn my little BriskAire on, and when I do it has no
trouble cooling things down to a positively chilly level. HOWEVER... I have
a high heat tolerance, I usually avoid places where the ambient exceeds 90,
I have none of the skylight windows, and my coach is moderate in size.
Contrast this with someone who has a 34' coach with multiple skylights, then
chooses to take his July-August vacation in an unshaded site in Yuma -- yes,
even 27,000 BTU may leave that person uncomfortable.
