There are several videos on u-tube showing the sealing of the air passages to correct the problem. I would start there. If there is air leakage between the cold air and the return you will get those exact symptoms.
I gave my main 15 BTU AC a look over looking for air leakage, and found a few spots that needed to be sealed up. It was dumping cold air into the intake side. Again, thanks for the advice!

A simple test to see if the unit is cooling properly is to use an infrared thermometer and read the temp of air on the input side and output side on high cool. If the output temp is at least 20 - 25 cooler than input temp, it is working as designed.
Good advice, I'm going to give that a go and see what happens.

Our Dometic 13.5 won't really do the "hang meat" thing either. It cools good but the builtin thermostat cuts the compressor out about 67 degrees. Cools it quick, but only just so cold. But it is enough that combined with main ducted 15K the trailer stays comfortable even on the hottest days.
This is about what mine does too. Gonna try to check the temps and see what kind output it is running.
