The fan motor is getting hot and going off on the internal overload in the motor.
This is caused by either a low voltage, a bad capacitor, or tight or dry bearings in the motor.
To check the bearings turn the power off to the unit, then spin the fan blade if it spins freely then the bearings are ok.
To check the capacitor you will need some kind of
tester or you can buy a capacitor and replace it, that's what a lot of people do. They usually don't cost very much.
To check the voltage you will need a voltmeter and measure the volts at the unit.

Start up capacitor for a Coleman 7300 series rooftop AC unit.

To be absolutely certain, remove the old one, read the values and purchase a new one from an electrical store.

I installed a new rooftop mac 3 48203A876 ac on my travel trailer every things works IE fan high fan low but compr wont start.The unit came with a p.t.c.r. attached to the start CAP. when i set the...

If this is a 'new' unit I would contact Coleman and explain the problem you are having. I would think that they would have to honor the warranty on the unit. That is, if a AC company installed the unit. However, from your explanation of the problem it appears that you might of installed the unit yourself in which case - 'they' (Coleman) might decide to 'not' honor it. A gray area for sure. Still, I would try and see if they would help you.
In the case they won't - I would get ahold of a AC Tech and have him/her troubleshoot the unit before I started removing and adding electrical components.
From what you've said - I wouldn't think you have anything seriously wrong - you just need someone to figure out why it's not working as it should.
My best guess - is that it's a simple electrical problem that can be solved with one service call and for a minimum cost.
Worst case - might be a major component (i.e. compressor) that is bad (which is not likely) but in any event with the AC Tech's help - Coleman would probably honor the warranty on the compressor and you would only be out the labor for the AC Tech to install it. Note: some warranties will even cover the labor to put it in.
Bottom line - I would try to get Coleman to help me directly or with the help of a AC Tech, and in the event they won't - I would trust the AC tech to find the problem and repair it.
