Your fan motor indeed could be bad.
Do you have a Test Meter, and are you willing/able to test for voltage to the Fan Motor?
Can you check and see if it spins freely? Could be stuck bearings.
Could be its windings or its internal over-temperature cutoff could have opened up.
Or, could be its Fan Run Capacitor has failed. There MUST be a Fan Run Capacitor and a Compressor Run Capacitor. There may also be a Compressor Start Capacitor. You'll have to remove the plastic shroud then a small metal panel on the driver side to access the capacitors. Turn power off first, unless you've worked on A/C before, look but don't touch the capacitors. Just look and see if they appear swollen, burst, or fluid leaking down. It takes a special meter to test them and they have to be discharged first. Or replaced with new or known good capacitors.
In RV terms, the Fan Motor and the Capacitor are inexpensive, about $100 for the Motor and $20 for the Capacitor.
