Was just in Oklahoma where the top temp for the days was 99 to 100 I believe. The highest the camper got in the middle of the day was around 78 with both ac's running. Pretty close to 20 degree difference we expected....
Many people seem to misunderstand the 15 - 20 degrees. It is intake air and exhaust of the unit, outside temperature is irrelevant.
If the intake air is 95 the air coming out should be 75 to 80 degrees. As the room cools the intake air obviously is cooler, so when the intake air is 75 degrees, the output should be 55 to 60 degrees.
What the OP doesn't realize is that he has a problem with his unit resulting in the very low temperature output. What is happening is that due to defective separation of the intake and output, it is cooling the same air over and over again. The baffle between the intake and output needs fixed.
