Clint brings out an excellent point, in extreme hot weather we have to use all of the tools at hand. When moving down the highway, close all window shades in the bedroom and the front of the coach. When parked, use the outside awnings and draw the front curtains that cover the windshield. Use fans to help circulate air inside the coach.

Again, all any cooling system can do is a 20 degree difference; 100 degrees outside / 80 degrees inside.

Richard also brings up a good point, check for AC air leaks and keep filters clean.

When it's hot - it's just hot!
