First time camper owner. Have brand new 2019 A213hw. DW and I purchased a new camper with dreams of going camping every other weekend. Our first trip was to our KY family farms. It was above 90 each day and the family gave us a spot in direct sunlight for most of the day. Inside the camper was like an oven. We had hooked up to house power and had ac blasting the whole time with no success except for after dark in cooling the camper. The last day was 98 degrees when I folded up the camper, before I started I put my hand in front of the blower and could have sworn in was blowing warm air.
I took it in for some other warranty issues and asked them to check ac as well. It tested fine by what tech said.
Second trip was at campground. Late booking and once again in the sun. First day it was in the mid 80s camper did fine. Second day. Back in mid 90s by lunchtime and camper was a little over 80 inside. Ac was blowing cool air but was losing to the big orange ball in the sky.
1st trip did not open roof vent. Tech suggested opening the vent a little and running fan to draw out the hot air. 2nd trip we gave that a try.
Am I expecting too much out of the cool cat or should it be able to cool the box down? Should we only go camping when we can find shade? We don't stay in the camper all day, but when it gets hot we would like to take a little shelter to cool down. It has actually been warmer in the camper then out.
What do you guys do to keep it cool? At this rate I may have to change my name to cool hand Luke. I see some of you guys and gals go to desert locations and I just don't get it. We would like to do the same.
