He is right. There are countless reports of refrigerant loss in the Dometic units of that era. Supposedly fixed in summer of 17.
It is hard to tell if the compressor is pumping or has low compression without seeing some pressures. Hermetic units normally either burn up the windings, crack/break the valves or twist the motor shaft(usually ~1 HP or less). Scroll compressors don’t like frozen coils or dirty condenser coils. Reciprocating compressors hold low charge better, but aren’t supposed to be as efficient.
Glad you have a solution as it’s too hot to camp most places without a/c.
