AC not cooling in 115 degree heat
Not sure if this is because of the excess heat or if I have a problem. Coming from the PNW we don't experience this kind of heat. Had both the roof AC and the cab AC going from Anaheim to Needles, CA....

We have found that in really hot conditions...105 and up, we can expect to get about 25 degrees out of our trailer air conditioner.
This has been our experience in 3 different trailers.
You're spot on- doing a bit better than average, actually. Ambient air temps are key with RV A/C since they function much like heat pumps, except that they're "cooling" pumps.
Here quoting from RV air conditioners
The factory specification is approximately 20°F cooler air exiting out the discharge than the ambient room temperature entering into the filter. Air conditioners only remove the heat from the air, so if your RV temperature inside is 90 degrees the discharge temperature would only be approximately 70 degrees.
