I believe the rule is that the cold air coming out of the AC unit should be 15-20 degrees colder AS MEASURED AT THE CLOSEST OUTPUT POINT TO THE MAIN UNIT (if ducted) of the AC unit compared to the current temp INSIDE the RV.

jlarocca95 - How long is your 5th wheel ? If camping in the south, the bigger ones need 2 AC units to cool them adequately. I'm not saying you're wrong about your AC unit problem, just trying to help. I have a 35 ft 5th wheel with 2 AC units because I originally started out using it in Florida and other southern states. Glad I ordered it that way. No way could one unit cool it down.
