The updated dash air on our Buskirk Stretch doesn't cool hardly at all. It had a second evaporator blower unit under the couch behind the driver and a later compressor, GM HT6 with R134a. System was evacuated and Duracool installed. Still not much cooling. Flushed system, installed new expansion valves, filter dryer and a new compressor, evacuated and installed fresh Duracool, 3 cans. Output air is about 65* F. Low side pressure now at 30 psi, didn't cool at 20 psi (two cans) when filling and high side pressure only about 130 psi. Looking for suggestions and comments.

I hope you are saying 20PSI at 1500 rpm. I think you do not have enough Duracool. It should take more than 3 cans to run two evaporators.
