Vented air conditioners have dump vents on the AC themselves. When those dump vents are open, the majority of the air dumps straight into the main room and minimal air goes through the vents to the end rooms. I would guess that the dump vents were open, cooling the main room. If you close those dump vents, it will push the cooler air through the vents and cool down the ends of the trailer.
That being said, your vents run through the roof. They displace insulation and can get hotter because of the sun beating down on the roof. Air coming out of the vents, especially at the furthest ends from the AC unit will be warmer than straight from the dump vents.
You are down in Florida... make sure you have the upgraded AC unit if you can. My Jayco came standard with a 13.5K AC unit, but I paid a minimal upgrade to get a 15K AC unit. Depending upon how and where you camp, it might be a good idea to consider a second AC unit and 50 amp service. Heat and humidity can overwhelm a single AC unit.
