Hey Corey, congrats on the new motorcycle trailer! You're going to need to reinforce your roof to add an AC system. All of our units either fit a 14" x 14" cutout or a 14-1/2" x 14-1/2" cutout. The Advent Air RV Air Conditioner System item # ADV23SR is going to be the best option for you.
The Advent item # ADV23SR includes a 13,500 btu ac unit, a air distribution box with controls built in, and a start capacitor that saves energy so you don't have such a sudden voltage draw when your AC kicks on. You can add heat to the unit using the Electric Heat Strip for Advent Air RV Air Conditioners item # ACMHD.
What kind of motorcycles do you have and have you seen our B&W Biker bars? We've got a few options like the item # BWMC2301 which works with Harley-Davidson Touring bikes.

Hey Corey, how's the trailer project coming along? Did you decide to go with the Advent Air system for cooling and heating? I'm curious to know how it worked out for you, as it could help others looking to convert their trailers for camping.
