I checked every vent, but the unit has ducted air returns which means there is no inside AC cover that I can easily pull to inspect. If I get ambitious I may pull the outside roof cover but at this point cooler weather is just around the corner.

I also sealed the AC duct runs at the ends where they extended past the last vent.
It is amazing how much better the AC works after doing this.....

The ends of the ducts in the bedroom are sealed, but it's disappointing that they didn't put a foam cap on, simply choosing to use foil tape. I wasn't able to easily see the end of the ductwork at the back.
I may at some point fill the end of the duct with foam.

The thread has pictures of the caps in between the plenum and the ducts which would let conditioned air into the rafter space. Ours was not major but it was something. I'd be interested to see your results.

Those were some pretty sizeable gaps! It's disappointing to learn that such minor, easily fixed thing like that slip past quality control.
I didn't take any post-fix pictures. We're in a hurry trying to "move in" to the new camper in time for a weekend outing. I'll pull the cover next week when we get back and take a pic.
