Its probably working as good as it can in the 105 degree heat.
We just returned from a trip to NJ and back. On that trip we camped on asphalt (
Liberty Harbor RV park). During the heat of the day (was in the 90s and sunny) our A/C could barely keep up--if the temps in the coach didn't already start relatively cool it wouldn't even start cooling down until 7 or 8 pm at night when the sun stopped being so direct. (We couldn't even extend the awning a little to get some shade: There was an Airstream next to us that was reflecting the sun back on the side of the coach--I'd have to extend the awning over them to reduce that!).
Its pretty much just the heat load: If its super hot outside and you're getting direct sunlight on your coach that A/C unit is going to be working really hard.
