Hello,
The only way to use the air conditioning is to run water through it. This doesn't work too well without being in the water. Maybe a portable while on the trailer?
Thank you,

You could try one of these. Not sure if this link will work. if not, just google Cruisair Carry-On Portable Boat Hatch Air Conditioner. Our Tennessee docktail neighbor purchased a used one for his 28' Marinette and really liked it.
Good luck, I think I may be trying one next year when we start traveling with our boat.

When we travel I have used a 5,000 BTU window unit. I set it at the bottom of the cabin door with cut noodle floats around the sides and bottom and then a 2X4 at the raer in the cockpit. I plug it into he outlet of the cave and then run the privacy canvas down to the top pf the AC. Works like a charm when sleeping. We do not use it during daytime, but you could. It is a bit of a pain to climb over.
Capstu has done a setup with a window unit in one of his overhead hatches in the galley. It works pretty well.

How the tugs material standing up to those temperatures in regard to expansion and shrinkage. This must be really be really a torture on Fiberglas sealants and so forth possibly requiring extra caution before going back into the water
