An RV A/C MUST have two Capacitors. One is FAN RUN and the other is COMPRESSOR RUN. Fan and Compressor won't start, won't run, without the respective Capacitor. Compressor MAY also have a Start Assist Kit consisting of a Capacitor and a Control of some kind for it. It seems most Coleman units do, and your Model Number indicates it does, or at least started out with it installed.
So... Compressor RUN Capacitor is a possible suspect. Also, have you cleaned he coils? And, do you have Air Baffles under the Shroud, along the edges of the Condenser Coil? Those keep hot discharge air from being pulled back into the air intake side of that coil.
