AC Barely starting to starting on econ mode?
I have a Yamaha 3000 iSE which was dicey to get it to start the 15K BTU Dometic A/C on my rig. I'd make sure the eco throttle (on Yamahas it is called the econ switch... same thing.) I'd toss someth...

Chris Bryant's A/C Tuneup is good for all of us to do. It's made huge performance improvements on the two RV A/C's we've had.
That said, I can see where having the unit clean would reduce its operating temperature and make starting easier once the system was warmed up and cycling. I don't understand how it would help with the first startup of the day, unless the blower motor was balky and started easier after oiling. Other than cleaning, oiling the blower motor's about all the maintenance there is on those.
Some of the OPs here have added a compressor start delay to their rooftop A/C units. The idea is to let the blower get going and stabilize on Run Amps vs. Start Amps THEN let the compressor go for Start Amps. That would reduce total Amp demand on startup.
