I agree. The other consideration is how the air moves. We have a FanTastic fan in our trailer that sits right above the kitchen area, which is next to the door. I always have the fan set to exhaust air out the top of the trailer. And, it is thermostatically controlled to increase speed at higher temperatures. It also has a rain sensor so it shuts off and closes if it rains.
If the door is open, most of the circulation is within the kitchen (in through the door and straight up and out of the fan).
To cool the trailer, I really want the air to come through the front window louvers, that way it moves the whole length of the trailer before going out through the fan. So, that window is always open when we camp. We open or close the two side windows as conditions warrant. For instance, if there's a breeze blowing against the side of the trailer, then those two windows would let it pass through.
There is also a small kitchen window that is open or closed as conditions require.
Your trailer likely has a different fan and window setup, but using what I've described as a guide might give you better cooling than you've been experiencing.
