What is the Make/Size/Model Number of the A/C?
Do you have ceiling ducts, or is this a non-ducted unit (where all air is returned to the coach right at the indoor part of the A/C)? Please describe your controls...
Wall Thermostat - or - Knobs on the A/C unit itself?
If it's a Coleman with a Knob, COLDEST is all the way Clockwise on the Knob. Is that the way you turned it?
RV A/C units DO fail from bad compressors and leaks in the sealed (Freon) system, but problems like Capacitors are much more common.
Can you carry out some troubleshooting instructions if we provided them? You would have to get on the roof, remove the plastic shroud, and remove a couple pieces of sheet metal to get at the components.
Do you have at least a test meter?
Meters measuring MicroFarads (capacitor test) and AC Amperage (compressor current draw) would also be helpful.
This is a helpful cleaning process. It'll explain how to get into the rooftop unit, and be a very good thing to do if we can get the cooling part running.
