There is no reason why an RV AC can't cool to more than 25 degrees lower than the outside temp. I think what get cofused is the the temperature drop through the AC is about 16~21 degrees. The more the same air circulates through the AC the cooler it gets. The rest is up to the insulation and overall heat load of the RV. The AC has no idea what the outside temp is.
Yes, and that is what he fixed yesterday, he re directed the intake to the panels that are inside the RV instead of the space in between the ceiling and the roof. It started out about 83F this morning outside, and is now at 86F, which is cooler than it has been. The front AC has been able to be 10F lower than outside temp, so started at 73F this morning, now at 76F, even though the whole time it has been set to 70F. The back AC in the bedroom and bath is keeping up no prob.
I had the awning open for a bit, but the wind was too strong and I felt uncomfortable having it shake out there. We have one big awning over the kitchen dinette slide and both entry doors. Wish we had some over each slide with windows, that would be nice. We do have a lot of windows though, so that may be part of the issue. It is not terrible in here as it has been (was 83F yesterday) but my worry is that if it gets to be 95F again that it will only cool 10F below the temp outside as it is doing now.
