Running the fan on high can be counter-intuitive since the compressor shuts off during the satisfaction of the T-stat and the fan continues to run and bring in the hot/humid outside air which then causes the dehumidifier to run which produces heat... so on and so on.

First make sure the intake filter(s) are clean. if they are dirty air flow is reduced and some A/C's have "Frost" detectors. these detect when the evap starts to Ice up (or rather they should) and shut down the compressor... That sounds like your issue.
Second make sure the condenser (Rooftop the part that gets HOT) is clean.. For different reasons.. IF I Were making an A/C i'd include an over pressure sensor. I do not think Dometic did but that's how I'd do it.
Finally Fan on high.. Not low. Not auto Two reasons.
First.. Your problem.. Fan on high might fix
Second.. Yes I know it is noisy but it's very close to "White noise" which means your brain, given a few minutes, will filter it out.. and what's more that fan noise will cover the compressor so you won't be as annoyed by it cutting in and out be it short or long cycling (you will hear it but you might need to pay attention to do so) Also when your next site neighbors get into a knock down drag out.. You won't hear that either. (Trust me on that count... Throwing things through the window level fight and I never heard a thign).
Thanks for your feedback.
This AC being a month old is still clean and the filters get cleaned regularly, I have an air compressor close by and try to blow out each unit, along with the fridge and water heater area, monthly.
Running the fan on high can be counter-intuitive since the compressor shuts off during the satisfaction of the T-stat and the fan continues to run and bring in the hot/humid outside air which then causes the dehumidifier to run which produces heat... so on and so on. When it's really hot out we have to do that with the unit in the front, no t-stat, and the humidity gets crazy up there.
It appears that replacing this simple little therimister was the answer, thanks Doug for asking about that, it was just by happenstance that I pulled that down while looking for the model number and then it took off. Going on day 3 of the unit working the way it should, which it really never has since new.

ok so when I did my PDI walk through, the guy stressed to never run the ac in auto or with the fan set to low. So, for me it's always on hi. not saying it's your issue but could it be? Have you tried it in a different setting?

I would not run with the fan on low. Ice up is a common occurrence with low fan speed. Iโve never seen a unit that changes speeds on its own
