2014 jay feather slx16xrb a/c not cooling

Hi, I just bought this new from dealer last week, first time to turn everything on, I've waited over 3 hours & it's still 96° inside trailer with a/c on. It's a roof mount 13,500 a/c & I'm in texas, 100° right now. Do these trailers cool down with the beds out or is my a/c not good? I had a old pop up with added air that cools better then this!
I love the trailer and hope this is not all it can do to cool it!
The walk through was in the shade (of course) & it was very cool inside. Also I got on roof today & only very little water (condensation) was by a/c.
Does anyone have this type of trailer & does yours cool good?
Thanks in advance!

my pop up did great in 100 degree temps find a local dealer. I would try shutting it off for a 1/2 hr maybe it froze up

Thanks, I have shut it down for a hour. I checked the temperature controls, it works better on low cool. I have a
temperature gun & checked air coming out and all the beds, floors, sides, etc...hot! The temp coming out varied from 94° to 80°. The sun is lower & it's getting cooler, but that's expected. I wIll call the dealer tomorrow, good thing I checked it out before big camping trip! I was just curious how others with this hybrid were doing in theirs with the heat.
Isn't there usually a lot of condensation dripping off ?
I use to have a 35' Rockwood & it would freeze you out. This one's definitely going back! Thinking about it when I did the walk through, it was set on low then, hmmmm.
Thanks

We have the larger X23B and here in southern Indiana we have many heat warning days during the summer. Our humidity will often be as high as the temps!

One thing we do on those hot & humid days when we are camping is keep the curtains closed on the bunk ends. This seems to help cooling a lot.

Sounds like the AC is just not working, what dealer did you buy it from?
