Here's a link to a pretty good AC thread with some really good info for improving the Coleman AC unit, some of the info is generic enough to have some relevance to our Dometic unit.

http://www.thorforums.com/forums/f27...ice-12980.html

Before you make any changes you need to get some baseline temperature and air speed readings. BUT the first thing to do is close the vent on the AC unit it's for rapid cool down and should be closed after your MH starts to cool down.
With it closed you should feel an immediate improvement in the amount of air coming out of the front and rear vents.

Here are a couple of improvements I've done to our Dometic system.

1. Vents...blocking the duct at the very back and front vents before and after pictures.
This increased the air speed by 2 mph in the back and 1 mph in the front.

2. Cleaning up the MESS in the return duct.
I haven't measured the air speed at the vents, hopefully a big improvement. before and after
