Expecting too much from AC?
We took our 5th wheel out last weekend (Jayco 29.5 BHDS) and the campsite only had 30 amp hookups available, so we could only run 1 AC unit. Unfortunately, that 1 unit could not keep up. On Saturday...

You made your mistake by not leaving the air conditioner run all day while you were gone.
Yes, I did leave my AC running all day.
In that case, sounds about right. Yours has 2 AC's for a reason.
One trick you can do to help it cool faster is to pull the slides in, making a smaller area to cool (works equally as well for heating faster in the winter too). On extremely hot days when our's can't keep up, we'll pull the bedroom wardrobe slide in, and one of the living room slides in, making the space smaller. This lets things cool down quicker, and then open one slide at a time to retain the steady temperature. (another reason I was so picky on making sure we had a camper that was 100 percent functional with slides in).
