You can buy cloth wire for the screens and duct tape them up.  I know I bought an old home when we first married and didn't have AC.  (Didn't have heat either but that's another story) My home was wood so we stapled the cloth wire to the windows.  In your case if you have wood paneling on the inside you can stapel but you can't on the outside cause the trailer is metal. Also go on Craigslist and post under Wanted cheap AC window unit.  Just make sure it is 110 because if it is 220 then you will have to get an electrician.  Craigslist is free to post ads and put it under wanted.  Post for cheap or free. You'd be surprised how many people will help and even though you might get negative posts a lot of people really want to help and they will.  If you could just get one room cool and a bathroom then you wouldn't have to worry about the rest and a window unit just might be the answer to your prayers and Craigslist to find it. Good luck! Been there done that!
