Is there a difference running it plugged in with hook ups or with a honda genny? I have only run mine while plugged in and it gets freezing cold in the camper. We were just in redding in 100 degree temps. It was exposed in the sun and the our mach 8 was running great. It is pretty much a brand new unit so do you think it will get worse overtime?
As long as the unit is getting the same amount of amps, the cooling won't make any difference. It's when you gain altitude and the generator starts to struggle, not putting out the same power levels is when you start to have difficulty even running your air conditioner. You will never have that problem of course when plugged into shore power.
I've never heard of air conditioners running worse over time in the way that you are describing....
