It's likely not possible now but inspecting your a/c duct work for open ends is one of the best solutions for making sure your a/cs are not just pushing cold air out into the body of the r/v instead of inside the cabin. We use our 2021 Thor Magnitude mostly at the beach and it can still get warm in there during the hottest part of the day. So much so that I'm considering upgrading both roof top units and or buying an Ecoflow portable unit to supplement. Good luck.

What would the upgrade be? Both units are 15K BTU, right? I've had no issues being frozen out in any situation we've been in so far. Frying eggs on the hood but wife wearing light sweaters inside. Agree with a previous comment...stay ahead of it...crank them up early and keep them going. The dash unit keeps the coach comfortable while underway. If its really hot, I'll fire up the generator and run both rooftops about 30 minutes before we get to campground that evening but, never have really suffered from heat. Regarding the Phoenix stop...I'd keep moving a few hundred more miles. I've placed towels along the floor at the base of the big slide occasionally...a lot of cold air seeps out there.
