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.
While the ultra low humidity plays a huge part, even with that a drop of that much indicates air recircualtion. The new R401 units average in the upper teens, older R22 units were 20. More if dry, less if humid.
Are the new RV units coming with R401? All I could find on R401 was that it is a blend used to retrofit R12 systems which would be refrigeration, not air conditioning applications. We're still on R410a with no relief in sight. I had a residential guy tell me he heard there is a replacement coming for R410a, but that was all he knew about it. It was really hard to get used to it after seeing the pressures that R22 runs at.
