Fithwheel air conditioning problem
Hi, the cool air coming out of my unit seems to be around 64 deg F. It should be colder so it could cool the unit better during the day. I have two questions. How cold should the air be as it leaves...

20 degree drop is typical. If your space is 84, you'd get 64 (or thereabouts).
A 10 year old RV rooftop AC is barely worth trying to repair. You can get a tap ($5-$10)to add refrigerant (probably R22 at $10 lb). Problem is if it needs refrigerant, it has a leak somewhere (its a sealed system, and in our lifetime, won't loose enough to matter).
Finding/fixing the leak requires equipment not many have, and would cost a good portion of the price of a new one, with no guarantee.
Make sure all the coils are clean and the condenser fan is OK. Condenser coil in a 10 year old unit could easily need cleaning BAD.
