Trailer heat

Have my setup in a 6x10 v-nose enclosed trailer, put its first actual work in today and I am running into an issue. I have a Landa skid in the trailer, both the back drop down door and the side door on the trailer open when it was running and it seems to be causing issues with the thermostat on the burner. I am going to be running a pipe with some heat wrap for the exhaust on the engine here soon to keep down the heat and the exhaust fumes but still worried that the heat from the burner exhaust is going to keep causing issues. I will get hot water...once it gets good and hot it goes cold like its trying to cool the coil, then will go hot again few min later etc. I do have the vent on top which is open all the time but thinking if some sort of fan setup in the side door would be needed to alleviate this issue. It was only around 80 here today and summer it gets into the upper 90s-100 so needless to say the issue will get worse as the summer goes on. Anyone run into this issue? How did you resolve or at least any other ideas other than a fan setup that can suck some air through the trailer?
 
One idea, these racks can hold a whole skid.

Didnt run it out of the trailer before other than dealer testing at his shop before i picked it up.

A slide i dont think will do too much at this point. 1. i dont have a truck that can handle it. 2 having it slide out on this trailer i think would cause more problems then its worth and 3. I simply cannot put any more money into this that what has already been spent at this point.

I honestly think its a heat soak issue inside the trailer but trying to confirm if thats it or if something more serious is going on...which I hope not because this unit has 2.2 hours on it.
 
ment to add, have a 2nd smaller mobile landa unit being used at the same time just pulled out of the trailer and heat was fine the entire time its got about 2.4 hrs total now. thinking of using a few marine batteries with a power inverter and running a few of my cheapo household fans in the trailer anyway just to help it not feel like a sauna when in use but would this help this issue as well?
 
I run a 8gpm machine in my 7 x 16 enclosed trailer with No Problem.....I made an adapter on top of my burner to vent exhaust out the back with rear door down . Just ran it 5 12 hr days with no problem.

have any of you actually ran into an issue without the exhaust where this happened? money is tight so power inverter, boat battery and some fans are my next shot until i can work out something different.
