My wife made curtains which pull across in front of the cab area (also helps the dash AC while driving) and we can close the bathroom door which cuts off the bedroom and bath from the living room. This gives the AC unit a much smaller area to cool. I also close all the AC vents except for those in the living room. I reverse the process at night. The round vent mod in the AC unit (as mentioned by SuperD) also helps a lot. A shaded area for the RV also helps and not letting the RV get too hot before you try to cool it is also important. It is also possible that your AC is not operating correctly or that the vents were not installed correctly or are partially blocked. In those cases the round vent mod is even more useful and you can pull the inside part of the AC down and look. Running the AC with that inside cover off will also give you a better idea if the AC is really putting out cold air.
