There is a really good option for you to get an air conditioner with a wall thermostat and heat for your ductless cargo trailer. For quality, I recommend going with an Advent AC unit, and you can choose from either 13,500 Btu or 15,000 Btu; for heat you'll also need to add a heat strip:

- 15,000 Btu: Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box and Wall Thermostat # ADV64FR

- 13,500 Btu: Advent Air RV Air Conditioner w/ Air Distribution Box and Wall Thermostat # ADV94FR

- Electric Heat Strip for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACMHD

I recommend going with the 15,000 Btu unit due to cargo trailers being so open, but I did want to give you the option of a 13,500 Btu unit in case you have a smaller cargo trailer and just wanted occasional cooling.

The only other thing I recommend considering is a start capacitor to help jumpstart the AC to ensure you always have enough power to do so. The part for that is the Start Capacitor for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners # ACMSCKIT.
