It’s become too personal for some people, so I’m staying out of it. Just use your common sense. As a hypothetical example, if a 15,000 BTU/hr A/C could be easily modified to put out 18,000, why wouldn’t the A/C manufacturer do it and sell it as a larger unit? Some of the incremental stuff may help a tiny amount in theory, but I wouldn’t waste my time on them. In my experience with refrigeration systems, if its capacity is so inadequate that it’s deemed a problem, adding a few percent capacity isn’t going to correct the underlying deficiencies.

Just saying that to make a significant improvement, we have to make a significant change. Fixing things that are not working right is one thing (like leaks), but to get more capacity out of given compressor and heat exchangers is a different matter. Some times it’s best to accept a large motorhome needs two A/Cs.
