If I had to take a guess. and given your post all I can do is guess.
You need to clean the condenser coil.. On other than coleman this involves some work... First remove the outer cowl (Cover) on the A/C.. Generally this is about a dozen phillips head screws around the bottom (A magnetic parts tray is nice to keep track of 'em (Harbor freight, most auto stores, many hardware). Then you need to remove the INNER cover over the condenser.. This can be easy (A few more screws) or major (Cut the sealing tape. Unbend the tabs and so on) now you can see the crud blocking the thing.. You may need to pull the condenser fan (I did but I wear an xxl or xxxl glove) or use a soft brush to coax the crud off the fins...
Then you get to put it all back together.
Coleman instruction
Remove 4 bolts (Philips head) from the top of the unit and lift off cowl
Peal the condenser clean, replace cowl, replace bolts.
