Air conditioning problem
We have a 2012 Winnebago aspect,,model 30j. The Coleman 13.5 roof air unit does a terrible job when it approaches 90-100 degrees outside. We are lucky to have 85 degrees inside. I had the unit teste...

Like others have said, the 20 degree drop is the inside air vs. the air coming out of the AC vent.
My air gets down to the 50s, no matter what the intake air temp, but the best the temperature is going to get inside is about 20 degrees below ambient. I think that's the meaning of the 20 degrees.
Somehow I don't think 80 degree ducted air is going to do much cooling in a 100F trailer.
Am I understanding what you said ?
First worked with AC's in the early 70's and this one thing has not changed take a thermometer and measure the room temperature then measure the temperature coming out of the AC and if it is at least 20 degrees cooler then the AC is working correctly. Example the room is 100 and the air coming out of the AC is 80 it is working properly. No it does not mean that it will only cool to 80.
If you do not have to much heat gain and you are not trying to cool to large of an area for the size AC the 80 degree air will cool the 100 degree RV to 95 now you have 75 degree air coming out of the AC.
Again provided that the area that is being cooled is not to large and the heat gain is not to high the 75 degree air will cool off the 95 degree air and this process will continue to the max cooling of an AC which is approximately 65 degree air if you get colder great but do not count on it.
And as I stated one of the keys is not to let it get to 100 before you start trying to cool it off.
If you start early when it is 80 inside and the temperature climbs to 100 with the AC running and you have the 20 degree drop the AC is functioning properly then you are trying to cool to large of an area and or you have to much heat gain.
