Right now its 98 degrees outside my house and I have my house set at 74. It feels very cool inside.

A 24 degree difference for a motorhome air conditioner is actually quite good.

If thats not cool enough for you some options are:

Put more insulation into the roof. Use honeycomb or insulated shades on the windows.

If you are using the original 13,000 but air conditioner that came with the GMC, replace it with a new one. A new 13,000 btu will actually give more cooling as it runs more efficiently and circulates the air better. You could also put in a 15,000 btu one as I did years back. Much cooler.
