There are so many options to help with cooling...interior shades, exterior shades, parking in shade, dual pane windows, tinted windows, awnings all around on every window, larger AC units 15,000 BTU vs 13,500 BTU, 3 or 4 air conditioners, I've even wet the roof down on some occasions when dealing with only 30 amps.
With all this being said, just to debunk the 20 degree lower that "outside" temp again(as others have tried), when I first got my present MH(a Vogue well insulated), I had 2 13.5 BTU airs, full awning and not much shade but they did have grass instead of concrete all around. I was in Pahrump, Nv in late March early April, the temp reached 117 degree's and I can guarantee that if it was 97 inside the MH I would have given up RV'ing right than and there. I've been called a liar many times so have at it, but my temp in the MH was in the mid 60'ies!!! My wife and I were wearing sweatshirts.
I've repeated this on a few occasions and other times had difficulty in maintaining mid to high 70'ies but I'm talking 100 + conditions. I couldn't travel with my dogs if I couldn't keep them at least somewhat cool. I've talked long enough!!! :-)
I too have camped many times in 95-100 degree weather, I have two 15,000 BTU ac units and have never had a problem keeping the coach cool, maybee it has to do with our Year Coach, they don't build them like that anymore.
