Air Conditioner is not cooling the trailer
I have a 2014 Arctic Fox 5th wheel with a 13.5 BTU Coleman Mach (Airexcel)air conditioner, We haven't had to use the air conditioner until this weekend when it was 102 degrees. I have two Honda EU20...

some complex math and thermal engineering could help here,
heat gain compared to the units cooling ability
I had mine parked in my back yard, with the direct sunlight hitting the back side and tail end (most windows) it was only maybe 93, 94 degrees out, and the ac could not get the temp down more than 5 or 6 degrees, the sun moved behind some trees in the early evening and within an hour the temp in the unit dropped down to 72.
now if this thing had 3 inches of spray foam insulation in the walls and floor, and 4 in the ceiling, double pain windows with a uv reflective coating. a bowl of ice cubes on the dinette would cool the unit down.
Wouldn't it be nice!!! the better built RV
