Update:
The ac unit is still working and is putting out 45 degree air, not sure why it first put out the 35 degree. The hard start makes it work but when the system starts up I watch the amp meter inside the coach and it jumps up to the max (50 amp) but goes right back down. The other units do not pull that hard not even half that. So I am wondering if there was some damage done to the compressor. I did some research on the capacitor asking other HVAC companies if the ratings could vary even a couple MFD and every one said they wouldn't recommend it. So I did find info on the compressor that confirmed it called for 25 MFD and I see the tag on the fan motor is calling for 5 MFD. The Capacitor that Newell said came with the new compressor is 25/7.5 so I found a 25/5 and will put that in assuring the motor has what it should have.
