ac temp.
my 15500 btu ac is duct in but has a dump so you can cool the living area 1st. I was wondering what the temp should be if I stuck a thermometer in the dump or air flow? This is not a year old yet and ...

You guys saying 14-20 must be talking residential AC.
I just went out to my trailer 13,500 btu, ambient temp 74 F outside, important for condenser cooling.
Inside trailer 80 F. Turned AC on max, intake air at filter 74 (after 5 minutes) cold discharge air was 42 F. Switched to low fan, 38F. Both were dropping every minute.
That of course was at 8% humidity.
Car, RV, or residential doesn't make any difference.
You put a thermometer at the intake of the unit. Then put the same thermometer at the output. Normal is a 14 - 20 degree drop. This should be done after it has run for a while and temperatures have stabilized.
