AC problems again

I have a Penguin II heat pump/AC that I am having issues with. My RV is a 2015 and both units have been replaced under warranty.

Today it is what I would call short cycling. I can set the temp as low as 65 and it will come on and the compressor will run for awhile then it will go off but the fan keeps running. After awhile the fan will cut off but will start again in just a few seconds and the compressor will start again.

This continues over and over and over and it has no bearing on what the inside temp actually is. Eventually the compressor will quit coming on and the fan will run until I turn it off.

The coils are clean and I have re-set the thermostat, this is all I know how to do.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

By the way when the compressor is running the air is cold.

Also the heat pump function works as it should. We are using it each morning in Colorado.
