We have a 2019 Grand Design Reflection 28bh with a 15k AC in the living space and a 13.5k in the bedroom. We are parked in a partial shaded site with the cap oriented to the south. We are on the gulf coast and getting 90-96 degree daytime temps.
We are not having any issues keeping the rig at 70-71 degrees and the AC’s are cycling. We keep the blinds down. We have black vent covers on our bathroom and bunk room vents. When I bought the rig I checked the ducts and added foil tape to seal any leaks that I could see and made sure the returns and supplies were not short circuiting. We very rarely cook inside and the few times we have we made sure that the maxxair vent fan above the stove was open and on. We also run a dehumidifier with helps to keep the humidity between 45-50%.
I have added reflectix to the exterior walls in our cabinets and wardrobe. I don’t know how much it helps but I think every little thing contributes to keeping the rig stabilized.
FWIW if it were me I’d take it back to the dealer. Something doesn’t seem right.
