Upgrading Phoenix Cruiser 2551 A/C
My 2011 has a 13,000 BTU A/C unit and it just isn't keeping up on a hot day. Possibly coolant issues but I haven't had it from new so I don't know if it cooled better when it was young or not. Brow...

You bought used, correct? Pull the 13.5 apart from the roof and clean it. Chris Bryant has an article HERE. It's incomplete, broken links to the pictures, but it tells you what to do.
I'll venture that your 13500 IS adequate for your size coach and will keep you cool if you keep it clean.
The intake filters too, of course. I salvaged a 20 year old Coleman Mach 13500 that I thought I was going to have to replace, following Chris' article.
While the shroud (the pretty finish one) is off, make sure that (if it's Coleman) that there's a foam baffle running vertically along both ends of the Condenser (rear Coil). If missing you can make them out of foam pipe insulation or a swim noodle. Again, this thanks to Chris Bryant.
