RV A/C Efficiencies
Anybody got some tips/ hacks to improving an RV AC efficiency? I'm not an A/C guy by no means, and have little knowledge to how they even work. Is there any way to improve theyre efficiency? Either...

RV AC units don't need to meet the efficiency standards of home units, and cost is important= low efficiency.
To improve if it is a ducted system, best thing to to do is take down all the ceiling vents, used metal duct tape to seal the gap between the runner and opening and in many cases it easy peasy to add additional duct outlets. usually there are a minimum number of outlets, I easily added two more in our living area one in the bath which had none, and an additional vent in the bedroom.
Made a big improvement. Biggest improvement is sealing all the open gaps in the plenum chamber and also gaps between the AC outlet to the plenum.
Also replace the factory ceiling vents with Aireoport vents

less restriction than factory vents and more uniform air distribution and easier to adjust.
