With 80 degree outside temps or higher you need to keep the door closed...kids are either in or out once. All awnings out for shade, window blinds down to block the sun and reflect heat, in addition to the A/C use a couple of portable fans to help circulate the air throughout the RV.
Once we convinced the kids to stay outside instead of going in and out our RV got so cold we had to change into long pants.
If we know the temps are going to be above 70 we start the A/C in the morning so the RV stays as cold as possible throughout the day.
We like it cold... our friends always say we could store meat in our RV and House.
Agree with the above.
We have the small Kodiak:
First double check the vents are circulating cold air to far points (my system you have to close the vents at the unit itself which forces more cold air thru the ducts). There are instances where ducts are block off and need fixing.
Second those fancy sunlilghts we had to block off (too much of heat source during hot times), also block door window and pull shades. have to keep light out or these trailers basically become a hot-box.
Third we did get some basic fans to help circulate the air through-out the trailer.
Your Kodiak is a larger/longer one, did it have the 13.5k AC unit vs. larger 15K (might need larger unit). 13.5k is standard, 15k is an upgrade option (sometimes a dealer may have the upgraded unit).
