2013 Roadtrek RS air conditioning problem
I have a 2013 Roadtrek RS on the MB Sprinter with a 11,000 BTU Dometic Penquin air conditioner. The AC does not seem to be sufficent to cool the van. When it is over 90 out, I can only get the temp ...

Continuing to stay cool on our trip.
We have a small 10" fan that we had from home that we plug in and set on box between front seats. We are camped where it is currently 55 degrees outside and need the fan to stay cool with the two back side windows open. Don't have AC on tonight.
The same worked last night in Las Vegas on a normal evening.
We are surprised at how warm it gets/stays in the coach and that really only two windows plus door windows open. I guess that would be a plus in the cold Canadian Winters.
We also found that closing the privacy doors redirects the air back to the bed. If we ever need to replace the AC we will get one that blows downward and not to the front.
In the gas station today we ran into a couple with a Roadtrek 190 Popular with a second AC mounted over their vent. They said it kept them cool in Central CA this past summer. I don't know if I would want to give up my vent for AC but thought I'd pass on their experience.
