Way back when we had a travel trailer the roof a/c was to us pretty poor. Decided to remove the ceiling a/c cover and have a look. Seems a divider panel slipped out of the way allowing the hot return air to mix with the cold discharge air. Slid that divider back into place, used some aluminum tape to seal the various holes in the unit that would still let air to mix and wow it fixed the a/c unit. Might want to look into yours to just see if it was a simple slip of the divider. Good luck

Thank you for all of your replies and advice. I had a mobile RV guy come out and take a look today. He said everything seemed to be in good working condition but it was filthy and needed to be cleaned. Definitely seems to be cooling better now. Glad I don't need a new AC yet. I also had him fix a few other things that needed repair, so hopefully I should be good to go for a while. Nice to find an honest tech who charges reasonable rates.

Glad you got it cooling again! Nice to get a few issues resolved also, while you have a good mobile tech to inspect. Added confidence in your rig gained, and at a reasonable price too! ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")
Thanks for posting your outcome,

what are you plugged into? is your compressor kicking in. you need about 15-18 amps to start the compressor decently. running it on low amps kills compressors.
plug into 30 amps.
