No, I don't believe he knew that his reference thermometer wasn't 
accurate.  Also working in a hot 90+ degree service area into a 
trailer in the low 80's might seem very comfortable....at first.

In this case on our last trip a couple of weeks ago we would start 
out inside at 72 degrees (with the compressor cycling) in the early 
morning.  As the temperature inside rose as the compressor would stay 
on steady about 10 AM and it would get progressivly warmer reaching 
its peak at about 3 or 4 PM of 84-86 degrees inside.  Outside air 
temps were about 10 degrees higher.

That's interesting, as I would expect the unit to be in its most 
effecient state in a low humidty condition.  I thought that a good 
deal of cooling capacity in an air conditioner is eaten up in the 
dehumidification process.  The lower the humidity, the temperature 
drop across the coils would be increased.

I did email them and the posting I made last week of checkout 
procedures was their answer.  In a subsequent email they stated that 
since the drop across the coils was 18-20 degrees, the unit probably 
was operating properly.  They could not comment about the sizing of 
the unit since it depended upon inside square footage, windows and 
other openings, and insulation factors.  Bottom line it was now 
something that I have to deal with A/S about.

My last resort is that dealer has an identical 2002 Safari on the 
lot.  I could ask him to put us both in the same location and see 
which one cools better.

Thanks for the thoughts.  So far most of the answers I have received 
to this issue are stating that their units are providing superior 
cooling when compared to mine.
