Our old Cougar is a 2002 model and there is poor insulation; not sure the new ones are any better. It is HARD to get an RV cool when it is sitting directly in the sun and it is 105F! The duct work, bigger A/C (15K btu) and really darkening the windows helps a bunch and allowed comfortable camping. In addition, I have an 8K btu portable that I built a spacer for the window to vent out if it is REALLY miserable hot with no shade to augment these mods and of course we have a couple fans. If I ever buy another RV, will be 50A service and at least wired/braced for a second A/C unit.
