In 90 degrees full sunlight with 75% humidity on the beach I can run my 13.5 on my 27 ft trailer down to 65 degrees or lower with no problem. This is probably because my trailer is very insulated.
If your trailer quality is lower the AC may have a hard time keeping up with the heat bleeding back in. In that case parking in the shade should help.
You forgot slide outs. Your RV has R8 insulation all round (mine has: R-7 Walls, R-12 Floor, R-14 Ceiling) but mine has 3 slide outs so there is more surface area. Also my windows are single pane.
So it is not a question of lower quality, just different construction features.
Yeah I didnt mean it like lower quality per se, more like less insulation, air leaks, volume, etc.
I also forgot to add on the left side I have 3 mini awnings for the 3 side windows and I can actually feel the differece when inside if they are not open and blocking the sun. Its all the little things that add up.
