More importantly what is the temp at night......Night time temp's are more important I would think...
Agreed!

Camping world checked them out and both seem to be working OK.
Have awnings out, front blocked with foil screen and curtains.
HOT HOT HOT
Any help on changing brands? These are norcold.
HELP!!!
slides are a (1) point
another important point, this is ODD fixation of dark even black paint jobs even on the roof,
with A/C covers even painted gray or black
this adsorbs a lot of heat that is next to impossible to remove or stop
if this is your coach, the A/C's are working them selves to death
paint the roof white, and get new a/c covers or paint them white
I don't know why MFG's ever started using this paint scheme, especially on the roof, where it hurts cooling efficiency and nobody can see the matching roof paint/graphics
BTW.. this has been brought up before..
so get more A/C units or paint the roof white with 'rubber coating'

Now feel up inside with your fingers and see if U can go from 1 side o the other. If yes U need to buy that alum tape at home hardware and seal the 2 chambers. In a really high heat / humid this can cause dripping. this problem is in 70% of all coaches
Agreed! I suffered with high temps in LV during my first summer stay. I found serious air leaks inside the ceiling unit...cold air was being sucked into the warm air inlet. I sealed the two chambers and added a 2nd A/C unit over the bedroom. Results? I can now keep the coach at 72 degrees, even when parked at Circus-Circus with 100 degree daytime heat.

You are then choked by the traffic fumes and polution.

Not really good for anything, but they will still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Your air conditioner is not drawing air in from the outside. The 20 degree split you are looking for is the temperature diffence between the discharge air fron the unit and the return air from the interior space being drawn back across the coil..Often refered to as the split across the coil..
We spend a lot of time in Pahrump (no shade) and 100+ outside in the summer is normal. In fact just returned from there so I can feel your pain.
We have 2 AC's and can keep the interior temps down to about 78 or so. What we do is all of the obvious stuff (exterior screens on the windshield and front side mirrors, awnings out, roof cleaned, etc) but more importantly we get the rig cooled off early. After breakfast we'll set the front ac to 75 and the rear to 72. Since the rear is the same size unit but a smaller space it can cool that area down more easily than the front which has a large space to cool. We then run a small fan on the ground to move the cooler air from the rear to the front and then a fan in the front on the dash just to help circultae the air even more.
The reason we go through all of this is that we often need to work during the day in the rig. We generate plenty of heat between the computers and the DVR plus all of the normal stuff.
BTW, once we get to the evening we usually set both acs to 75 and turn the small fans off.
Also, when its not too windy putting out the big awning helps a lot.
I know that if we closed the big front slides that woudl help but since we have to work inside that isn't an option.
