Poor installation would be my guess.
Also possible you are icing up. Remove the inside covers and inspect. Look for ice on the evaporator coil. Look for the freeze sensor is placed on the evaporator coil. Plenty of posts where the sensor was poorly installed or has fallen away.
Also check the plenum divider. This separates the air in and air out. If it was poorly installed much of the air just circulates within the unit instead of being forced out to cool the RV.
I had both these issues.
And further I am certain that a portion of my precious cold air leaks into the ceiling cavity. Otherwise why do I get cool air coming in around the electric outlet by the tv. Quality is just non existent.
Some brag on how well a single A/C cools the RV and I believe they are the lucky few where the installer paid attention to some detail that day.
Best of luck.
