I guess neither of my motorhomes listened to the experts, both can stay more than cool enough with just the dash A/C.
Mind you, I do understand their limitations and help them a little. Don’t try to block of the cab, that makes it worse, open the rearmost roof vent.
The weak part of dash A/C is not the cooling capacity, a Ford dash unit has more than double the cooling capacity of a rooftop unit, it’s the fan, it’s horrendously undersized.
By opening the rearmost roof vent you create a vacuum at the back of the coach which pulls the cold air to the rear for you.
