ok, so I can tell you have an old Evans AC evap system. the engineering on these were somewhere between terrible and awful. first, I can see your vent doors are open. I suggest that you permanently close these. I screwed mine shut and then taped over them with some real furnace tape. that keeps the input air from the front of the coach from entering the evap/heater core box.... cold or hot, the AC system is forced to draw the air from inside the coach.... You can even put a filter over the intake....2nd, I replaced my valve with a spring valve new from amazon. so when power is applied it opens fully and I can heat the front of the coach and when it is closed the AC temps reduced. The original valves are poorly designed, often don't close completely and only open 5/16" so one freezes in the winter. Price is stupid high..... lastly, there are newer other coolants that can be used in these old AC systems. I use enviro safe, and my output temp from my dash vents is 36 degrees. Yes, you read that correctly....36 degrees... we carry around with us 30 gallons of propane so don't bother with the Closed AC system will explode bit... I cool the entire front of the coach 2/3rds of the coach... no need for a drape.

Thanks for the advice. We're currently in the Yukon heading for Alaska. I'll work through this before next spring.
