I would not personally open a roof vent on a regular basis (while air conditioning) to let warmer inside air out. Chances are the air inside is cooler than that outside air, and if you let air out a vent it has to be made up from outside. Plus the outside air is humid which adds to AC load.
Chance .. agree with you .. I suggested the vent only as a short, temporary exit of extreme heat. The condensation emitted from our a/c is, I would say average.

Hud..right now, since we are in the driveway, not running a/c, I cannot tell you temp inside unit with a/c running. Will report same tomorrow when we begin loading for trip. In addition, I will check interior temp,(without a/c), later today, and let you know ...
Last night, unbelievably cool ! We are supposed to have rain today. Just hope it doesn't turn into severe weather !
