RV A/C in Arizona summer heat?
We may be moving to Wickenburg, AZ this summer. It is a bit cooler than Phoenix but still scorching for a Colorado boy. At some point us and the cats and dogs will have to try to survive for a few day...

That would be tough to do......A/C capability IS at best 20*F differential measured at Return (inlet to Evap Coil) and Discharge (outlet side of Evap Coil)
I've measured my air temps, so I know I have a magic a/c.
Recalling my university studies, it was not recommended to have a high differential between ambient temperature and the A/C discharge temp as it creates drafts and complaints from room occupants, that recommendation was proven correct in my dealings with people in offices etc.
Not sure if the RV A/C manufacturers followed the rule, but I suspect they did. Quantity of air flow is the more critical component to good cooling at a reasonable temp differential.
