Our solitude is a 2020 model year. I have removed the registers and checked that the cool air was not bypassing to the return on both of them and keep the filters clean, everything seems OK. It seemed to work when we 1st bought it in Florida about 8 or 9 months ago but now in Colorado it just can't cool the inside anymore. The only thing I am not sure about is we are at about 10,000' and about 20% humidity. I don't know if the dryer air affects the condenser so it cannot cool properly or the altitude effects the refrigerant.

I agree with Brian, you have some other problem. I was camping in mine on Fathers Day weekend in south Texas. Trailer was in full sun from about noon on and it was 98 degrees by 2pm. My two 15K Colemans were set to 73 degrees and while they ran a lot they did hold that setting and even cycled occasionally. My trailer is 41+ feet. 3 units would be nice to have but as Keebler stated, they are not needed. My avatar picture was taken that weekend in the site I'm referring to.

Yes I agree I'm going to have to have this looked into. My next stop is Las Vegas for most of October I believe there is a grand design dealer there that I hope can look into it. Thanks for all the input everybody I've never ran across this with any of my other RV's over the past 30 years.

We have a 344GK-R. It has 3 AC units. Two in the main room and one in the bedroom. In Texas, you need three. AC units can stress from over work so we rotate usage. Two on, one off. It doesn't take three to keep it cool but it does to cool it off when we first set up.
When setting up we use the AC dump vents. Basically the AC unit blows/dumps air directly into the room at high volume. At night we run the racetrack vent system which is similar to your ductwork at home using two running units. It works really well once the TT initially cools off.
IMHO, the more AC the better. If one unit goes down, you've still got two until you get it fixed. The sweetest sound I know is "It sure is cool in here, thank you" from my wife.2021 GD 344GK-R

"but there are currently supply chain shortages and ACs are one of them."
Does anyone have any idea when they will be caught up. We have been waiting 2 months

We are in the process of ordering a 3740BH and were told that we could not get a 3rd ac, and they would also not wire for it. The problem, we were told, is that the “soft start” acs are getting impossible get and the 50 amp will not run three 15 btu regular acs. We are concerned, as we live in Texas and we have been glad of our two acs in our little Imagine 2800 BH (although one is a 13.5). We were assured the “it would be fine, you don’t need it”. We feel like we don’t have a choice, but still there is some concern. Or dealer said he even contacted Grand Design, just to be sure the three acs are not available. Delivery is not expected until February. Haven’t finalized our order yet.
