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 down to 81 with the unit on high. I have had it looked at once, and they found no problems. I have closed the shades, put a relector in the windshield, and it is still not cool enough. I am getting very frustrated, as it is just not comfortable in the RV when parked (Mercedes dash air is terrific). It also makes no difference if I am plugged in or running the AC on the generator. I wonder if anyone else has had a simialr expericne with their Roadtrek and did you solve the problem? Also, do others have no problems cooling their RVs? I am considering getting a second option from another repair place. Roadtrek said I can't put a bigger AC unit in becasue the 2.5 kW generator will not handle it. I would really apprecite any suggestions. I live in CA so if you are not on the coast in the Summer, it is likely over 90. Thanks for any replies and suggestions.
