So hotttt

This is one of the reasons why we opted for a TT over a 5er. 5ers have taller ceilings than most TT and even the slide outs have taller ceilings. The more "space" you have, the harder it is to heat and cool.

Basically, with the outside temperatures so hot and the amount of space the air conditioners are attempting to cool is to much, and probably the insulation and windows are not rated very good at all, your air conditioner just cannot keep up with the heat. You're trying to cool too much space.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I'M AN ADVOCATE FOR CHECKING OUT A CAMPER WITH SLIDES 'IN' BEFORE PURCHASING TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN ACTUALLY LIVE IN IT (WITH SLIDES IN).

There-in is about your only option to get the camper cooler (especially at night). Retract the slides and make the inside space smaller. The air conditioners don't have as much square footage to deal with, and you'll feel the difference, almost immediately. In the day time, open them back up. If it's still too hot, close the bed room slide during the day and leave the living room open. Any way to make the space smaller will help tremendously.

This is the same technique I use after traveling all day in high heat. The inside of the camper may be nearly 100 degrees. We plug in shore power, and then the (15,000 BTU ... only 1) air conditioner and within a few minutes, the entire camper is cooling down. By the time I get the camper stablized, jack down, unhitched, and everything set up, then we open one slide at a time so the air conditioner can keep up. This works.

So, a simple solution to your problem, make your space smaller if you have slides. Slide in the areas you are not using at that time of day or night and it WILL make a big difference on the inside temperature.
