Motorhome heat pump troubles

Our motorhome's two-ton Coleman heat pump is suddenly drawing too many amps to run on 30-amp service. On 50-amp service it runs ok, and when we use our 8KW generator it runs fine too. We've changed the filter and it doesn't make a difference. The Powerline Energy Management system indicates it's drawing close to 40 amps. The model number is 6537-871. We're in Tucson for the next couple of months and would like to get this fixed sooner rather than later. Any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks for any ideas!

    OP here. Thanks all for your assistance.

    Finally got into a service place today and they replaced the two RUN capacitors. All seems to be well now. So glad it wasn't more serious!
