Have not checked capacitors, since the RV AC specialist I consulted by phone said that is an unlikely issue, though I will probably do that before buying a new AC. I know how to do it. The breakers that tripped were 30 amp. Nothing else running in RV. It did not trip the 20 amp AC breaker in the RV.
If the fan will start running after you get it turning/spinning then the run cap is bad, usually. If you have amp meter check draw of compresser and make sure all 3 compresser terminals are good, could have one burnt off. I lean to electrical fault or locked compresser ( mechanical fault ) before refrigerant when breaker is tripping, but what do I know.
