Ace air conditioner - how does yours work?

Our Ace 29.3 has one roof air conditioner and while camping Tuesday it got pretty hot outside (maybe 88 to 90 degrees.) We started the generator and turned on the air conditioner before it got too hot inside but alas, we found the temperature go up to 83 degrees even though we were running the air at the maximum output. Finally we started the engine and ran the ford air at maximum and managed to drop the temperature to abound 77 or 78. All shades where the sun shined on them were pulled. All roof vents were closed. After getting the temperature down to 77 or 78 we turned off the engine but the temperature again went up to 83 so again I started the engine to cool it down.

So the question is this: Should we expect the air conditioner to keep the coach under 80 degrees or not? What is your experience with this on a 30 foot Thor Motorhome with one roof mount air conditioner? Maybe I need service to look at it?

Thanks for you input.

Bob
