OK, to clarify...
A blown cap doesn't have to look like the images I provided but if it does look like them it's bad.
Also, I would never replace an AC because of a simple failed cap, which is a normal failure. In fact, in home AC systems the caps are a maint. item that should be replaced periodically. Probably should be done in RV units as well.
BTW, How old is the AC unit?
If you can provide a pic of the caps, I may be able to tell you if it's blown for sure.
If you want, I can PM you my Ph# so you can send me a text/pic.
