............Pull the plastic cover off the A\C , take a bright flashlight and inspect the area where the cold air is SUPPOSED to be separated from the return air ! There should be a tin metal partition that separates these two items and it should touch the metal surface of the unit on it's upper edge . ANY , gaps , will allow the emerging cold air , to be sucked back into the return air thus reducing the volume of cold air available to cool your camper . These units are designed just like female anatomy , the INput and OUTput are real close together ! , lol , jf

LOL yes. Did you mean pull the cover off from on top or from inside?

............Pull the cover that holds the return air filter that is held in place against the ceiling , usually , by 4 screws , 1 in each corner ! Once off , you will also be able to inspect the aluminum fins of the heat exchanger and see if they might be clogged up .
............Usually , the tin partition will have a small strip held on by adhesive tape on it's top edge and should be compressed , up against the flat surface of the underside of the metal case of the unit . Any lack of surface contact will allow the return air to suck cold air , back , into the return air flow . Given the LACK of quality assurance by most mfgers , I'm quite sure that there are a large number of new units that would exhibit this problem , WERE THEY to be inspected by their selling dealers !!!!!!!!!
.............After all , how many purchasers of new units , demand that the sellers check the temperature of the cold air coming out of the A\C that meets the stated temps published by the A\C mfgers on a 100f day ? If that number is 65f then the purchaser should make the seller MEET that condition or NO sale !!!!! Once money changes hands ALL leverage held by the buyer just vaporizes . , jf
