While cleaning and re-installing the A/C filter.. I noticed [Cold] air blowing down from the left & right rear corners of the Intake grill area. Took a Look See.. and found that the (flexible) (Dometic) plenum wall between the intake and ducting area was of a Noticeably... Loose Fit. A portion of A/C air was being recirculated, not distributed through the ducting (?).

Took Duct Tape (Gorilla) and sealed it.. all the way across.. Left to Right and immediately noticed More A/C air flow from all the vents.

Thought I'd pass this on ? Worth a Look See... on yours ?
 
I'm in the process of installing a new Dometic Brisk II A/C unit in the garage section of my Toy Hauler and I saw that divider section and thought....that needs to be a really snug fit and backed up with some sort of a good seal to keep the two compartments totally separate.  Good catch and fix!
 
Two of the three rigs I owned that had ducted air developed leaks between the intake and output sides. That's why God gave us duct tape...
