Default Air conditioner problem

In July we purchased a very nice 1991 41.5 Newell with 165,000 miles on the 8V92 Detroit. We departed for a two month trip from our home in Mexico through Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada and California, returning home the 1st of October. Having a number of motorhomes over the years, we were used to breaking down two or three times a week. The Newell was a delight. However we had a problem with the central air conditioner about half way through the trip. This model has three a/c's located in the basement, left forward. The center a/c started making a very loud noise, (vibration) a few minutes after turning it on and then shut down by tripping the circuit breaker in the closet. We tried it a few more times from time to time and the same symptoms occurred. The compressor would kick in and then a few seconds later the shutdown would occur. We stopped using it and now wonder if anyone else has had this experience. We are not where we can get a qualified diagnoses or repair and because of the location of the a/c's I am not familiar with the unit. Can a good RV shop fix our problem? Any help will be appreciated.

Air conditioner problem We recommend you have an RV technician familiar with central air conditioning diagnose your problem. If no such RV tech is available, a serviceman familiar with central home a/c should be able to help, as Newell central air conditioning is very similar to a home unit. If no expericenced a/c techs are available and you want to get into this yourself, remove the shrouding from the unit. Take a look at the components, including the bracket securing the fan and motor, as this bracket sometimes fails. Parts for the older a/c systems are getting a little bit tough, but try the factory parts department once you identify what you need.
