2017 Eagle HT AC issues

Does anybody else seem to have a hard time keeping there eagle cool on days its around 85 out. My new Eagle 26.5 BH seems to struggle with keeping the unit cool and was wondering if this is happening to anybody else.

People are going to need more info, such as what size a/c you have, do you have single or dual a/c, dual pane windows yes or no, parked in the sun or shade, etc.

Also you put this under the welcome to forum section. If you can post it under the 5th wheel section, many more people will see it.

A moderator might move it if they see it.

I've got a 26.5 BHS. In direct sun with one AC it can be a challenge to cool off(Especially if sitting in the the slide), but once cool it does ok. . 2 AC's or even a little shade...no issue.

We have a 2018 28.5 RSTS HT. Several weeks ago we were camping in OK. We had a spot on the lake and caught full sun from noon through sunset. Outside temperature was 103 degrees 2 of the days. With both 15,000 AC’s running and the shades closed, we could keep the inside temperature around 77-78 degrees. If it is 85 out I would only run one and the inside would be very comfortable.

I have a 28RLS (32.5') with a 13.5K ducted A/C. It has no problem keeping up with 90 degree heat and high humidity even in direct sunlight with no shade. We keep the shades in the trailer down, awning out and start running the A/C in the morning (actually most of the time it's running at night).

The one 13.5K A/C was one of our concerns when we purchased the unit, and my wife likes things frigid (except for her husband), but the unit has done an excellent job. I think the 26.5BH is about the same size and you're also in NY so it sounds to me like the A/C isn't function up to full potential for a 13.5K unit so I'd have it checked out.
