AC in the heat
So, what do you expect from your rig AC? We have a 13k BTU AC in the front/master and a 15k BTU in the living. At present, the main 15k AC is keeping the rig at 10-12 degrees lower than the outside...

The roof vents!
The roof vents is where all heat and cooling comes in and escapes!! All the lid is plastic and it just 'sits' on the frame. It is not insulated in any way. And if you have the white ones the heat coming in is unreal.
I have 3 roof vents and once I put the pillows in you could FEEL the difference just standing underneath it and in minutes you could feel the difference in the inside coach temperature.
Made for an RV and they fit right it. The best ones are the ones with the "silver foil on one side and cloth" on the other. The rubber type ones suck, look tacky and don't work as well.
Put these in your roof vents and sit back and feel the difference in summer AND winter. :C
This is the 'Sun Shield' one with the silver backing that blocks "100% of UV rays". IMHO the best one to buy to keep the heat out.
