This is about twice as much cooling as a typical house......But I don't think your trailer will be as well insulated as a house. If you could always park it in a shaded spot....this would really help.
Installing it in the front would be better spot as far as less wind while traveling and easier to support. But this would require the cool air to be farther from the back door. If the back door is opened to load or unload.......all the cool air will be gone from the back of the trailer. The A/C unit would cool the front of the trailer better and it would take a while to cool the back.
Load the trailer with the stuff that needs the most cooling.....up front.
Are you going to install any shelves? If you stack boxes.....how are you going to keep them from falling?

I wonder if he could use those things they have at meat packing houses and grocery stores. The plastic flap things that are hung vertically that you push your way thru. Seems like they may keep some of the cold air confined in the trailer. This is kinda like a Salty Cajun Experiment. Salty may have a new patent. Salty's World Famous Ice Cream Wagons...
