Old A/C shaking

I have discovered it is not the compressor, but the blower fan that pushes the air through the vents. The thermostat was wired wrong. A little Internet research put it straight.

I will definitely check that out. I am scared to go on the roof, though. It doesn't leak and I don't want to push my luck. :/

The fan blower motor has two fans
One is a squirrel cage that blows the air into the RV. You can access it by removing the ceiling grill. See if it is loaded up with dust/debris.
The other fan is a blade type that blows air across the condenser coil.
It can be accessed by removing the roof shroud.

If either/both have heavy dirt accumulation/broken-missing vanes-blades you will have to remove the motor with fans which has to be done from the roof. Neither fan can be removed without removing common motor.

Being an older abandoned TT that A/C roof gasket probably needs replacing also.

Maybe there's something even bigger living in it!

Mud dauber nest on fan blades, very common problem. Remove cover and check all the blades. :)

I would check the mounting bolts. Remove the cover and take a look, as that amount of vibration is NOT normal.
