Also look for several posts from me and from others last summer. We touched based on AC mods and cooling tips extensively.

The general idea is to Keeping the heat out (by tinting all windows with cermaic tint that is NOT dark at all but reduces heat tremendously) and using the reflective bubbles in the windows facing the sun (or all) will help.

Plus look at the AC insulation mods and increasing air flow mods posted.

With all of the mods I find my one AC unit (15000 Coleman mach) does a good job at keeping us cool. My RV is 27 foot so your RV only one foot 9 inches longer than mine.

Also you need to be proactive by parking the shade as much as possible, have your front windsheild (when possible) facing away from the sun and start the AC unit up before its gets hot in the RV.

It takes a while to cool down a hot RV (all of the walls and interior furniture etc has to cool down as well).

I turn mine on once its gets in the upper 70's.

Hopefully you have finally found the right RV for you.

If the Axis or Vegas didnt exist this would have been the RV I looked at next (Love the floor plan and size).
