^I’ll defer to you as the expert here. I’m certainly not. Nor have I ever put a thermometer to one. And it always feels like the air coming out is far more than 20 deg cooler than ambient (in the camper of course)
Although apparently it is not. Must just feel that way when it’s 95deg out, camper is sitting in full sun, obviously isn’t keeping up with a thermostat setting in the low 70s but feels ice cold if you’re standing right underneath it.
I would have guessed more like 30-40 deg.
So basically there’s nothing wrong except for the OP having a normal (albeit marginal) setup for the extreme Summer heat and humidity in the Deep South.
Well then I agree, if that’s the plan, to cool the inside of a tuna fan in a sauna, go 50amp, dual AC and don’t look back.
Or try to find some shade for less money than the large amount of $ you’ll spend trading a Covid era purchased newer camper on a brand new more expensive one.
I spent years, sometimes working away from home for months at a time, but in the same location generally long enough to rent an apartment or old house with a couple guys on the job. As much as I thought a RV would be the ticket, it never penciled out.
The only way it would pencil out was if I would have had to hotel it. Then a RV would be a little cheaper.
Just something to think about.
