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....

Condition called High Head Pressure can cause a AC to shut down.
High head pressure is due to the lack of heat removal during the condensing process of the refrigerant cycle. The AC could be removing enough heat when it is only 95 but unable to remove enough heat at 115. If the coils on the roof are dirty or blocked this can cause High Head Pressure.
I have personally experienced generator shut down from high temps while parked and under high temp conditions I will leave the generator compartment door open and try to shade that area of the RV.
