Is hard start capacitor easy to install? On roof or inside of coach?

If you can get to it, changing is easy - typically two, sometimes three, wires of, same ones back on. They usually just push on to terminals, sometimes (rarely) screwed on. Make sure the capacitors are the same, and keep track of where the wires go (off and back on one at a time is the easiest way). If you've got roof air units, they'll be on top of the coach - under the shroud and usually near the compressor or motor. Big silver can looking thing typically.

Caution - Discharge capacitors before you stick you hand in there and start pulling off the wires. This applies to both "start" and "run" capacitors. Some units may have two capacitors and some units may have three.
