5Maine, is your 31-ft a Slide Coach? Our 31 is not. I can see where slides create more volume to cool as well as more surface to have heat loss let alone more air leaks. Also we're a party of two. I looked up how many BTU's our bodies put out. Seems to be about 350, but I think that's at rest. A youth program director I knew thought 750/teenager was more accurate. Were you driving till 0300, or set up on a site and A/C still couldn't catch up? A moving RV has tons of heat transfer. Very hard to beat the losses driving highway speed in beating sun.
Although I often wish our A/C was ducted instead of just blowing out of both ends of one cabinet, I've come to believe it's more efficient/effective than ducted. Less resistance to the air flow and that flowing air isn't buried in that hot area between ceiling and roof.
When we beach camp, there is no shade for a 14-hour day. We make it, shades down, sometimes awning up on one side. Can't microwave with A/C running. Usually can run toaster --OR-- coffee maker. Water heater has to be LPG during the day, but I can run it from bedtime till breakfast and the water's hot enough to do dishes all day.
