Expect your AC to cool the inside no more than 20 to 25 degrees when temps get that high on the outside.

X2, and one unit cooling 32' is quite a task.

Sounds like the A/C is working well. Enjoy.

It helps a lot to cut some of that metalized bubble wrap cut to size and put between some windows and the blinds. It usually can be found in Lowes or Home Depot in the insulation aisle. Camping World also has it. It makes a huge difference in our 32 ft "C".

Sounds like it is working pretty well.
You have to block the heat sources.
Get some Reflectix to put over the windows on the side facing the sun.
Instant relief.

I ordered my MH with two 15,000 btu Dometic Penguin(low profile) units,...(ducted).
In, 103 degree weather, parked in my backyard with all shades down, awnings extended and windshield sun shield up, BOTH air conditioners running on max cool is what it takes to be quite comfortable inside(about 73-74 degrees).

Let's see, 100 outside, 21 degrees cooler inside. I know which would feel more comfortable for me. Ours sometimes takes an entire day to reach its coolest operating level, in the mid- to low-70s. At times, this includes freezing up after 4-6 hours, a 15-20 minute thawing-out on the high fan setting, then back to the high cool setting.
We had barely reached that comfort level this past Thursday/Friday, when the wind and rain storm blew through the campground in the Hocking Hills area of south central Ohio. Electricity went out about 5 PM, water pressure was gone by 8 PM. (CG operated from a well, it required electric pumps to pressurize the water to each site.) Fortunately, we had 20-30 gallons in the fresh water tank, LP to run the fridge and stove, and two fully charged 12V batteries for the lights and water pump, but NO AC!!!. We stuck it out through the end of our reservation, late Sunday morning, but the heat/humidity factor was oppressive. Having the AC cooling the inside to "only 79 degrees" would have been great!
