That IS reasonable temperature drop.
The way I do a quick check of how my air conditioner at home and in the RV is performing is to measure the temperature of the air going into the unit at the air intake filter (not the outside ambient temperature) and at the air outlet register closest to the unit. If I don’t see at least 15 and hopefully closer to 20 degrees of temperature drop, I call a service tech to check it out.
Your air conditioner is only able to displace a certain amount of BTU’s of heat. If the BTU load from outside is higher than what your air conditioner can displace, you reach a point where even with it running 100% of the time it can’t bring the inside temperature down to the same point it could when the outside temperatures were milder.
