I have a Lance 1191 and, without looking at the make/model of the A/C at the moment, my fan DOES cycle off with the compressor depending on what my thermostat is set for. On 'auto' mode, the fan cycles off with the compressor when the set temperature is reached. If the t-stat is set to 'hi' or 'low', then the fan stays on that respective setting regardless of the compressor on/off cycling. My A/C is not ducted.

Compressors kick on and off, but the blower fan motor never stops.

Okay, I am totally confused. The video says the AC is either on or off and has no temperature control. That is simply not true. The knob on the left side selects the mode, fan, high or low cool etc. The knob on the right sets the temperature the AC cycles at. My AC turns the compressor on and off depending on how I set the temperature. I can set it so my camper will freeze me out, or hardly cool at all. Every rooftop unit I have ever worked on with the controls in what is called the air box works this way.
My AC unit is always running when it is turned on. There is a dial to set the amount of cooling but the unit runs constantly until it is turned off. The purpose of the coolingstat is to shut the unit off when the desired temperature is achieved, then cycle on and off to maintain the desired temperature.

If your AC is constantly running and does not drop the temperature adequately it is undersized. If it is too cold and the unit does not shut off, the control that sets the temperature is not working correctly and should be replaced. It is an easy replacement. The advantage of a working factory control is it does not shut off the fan so the continual air circulation is helpful in maintaining an even temperature.
I think the Coolstat will do what a correctly working control should be doing, but it also will shut off the fan, if I understand its operation correctly. I have had to replace them over the years, but they tend to be pretty reliable so it has not been often. I am not sure whether any of the controls off the new remote control units could be swapped in, although I suspect it would be possible with some research on the schematics.
