It could be something cheap like a 100 buck motor or a capacitor or maybe the relay stuck and got fried. If he was out there 3 times last year keeping it going then it sounds like a freon leak. Were your lines freezing up and then the coil in the ac freezes up so much it blocks the blowing air? (it would run but not much air would come out) The usual sign of low freon probably from a leak. EPA frowns on techs that keep feeding leaking ac units and some of those cheaper coils just begin to leak after a number of years. Cheaper to replace than the labor trying to find and fix a leak which may not be fixable anyway.

If it was blowing capacitors which caused the service calls then maybe your compressor was on the verge of lockup and finally did. Then you would want to replace the whole outside unit.

I have my own guages, cannister of freon, and I can buy wholesale so I'm in better shape that you and it doesn't sound like you are up on ac units if you were paying $250 bucks per call last summer.

If you can afford $750 for service calls then it sounds like you are loaded. Spring for 1 or 2 one ton units or a bigger 2 ton. Check for 220 ac outlets. I doubt you have any so you need 120 volt units. It would cost more than it is worth to put in 220v outlets. There is a 100% or more markup on ac units. If you knew what you are doing, you can get them online. Even lowes sells them.

Who knows, maybe you need to or may want to replace the heater while you are at it. Those mobile homes used some odd sized units so you have to measure every thing. When you go to changing the heater, then it all has to match up to the duct work or else it costs a bunch extra to match up the duct work.

Even those sliding windows are removable. Maybe remove the whole glass and fill the opening in with something. There is also an active market for people stealing ac units for the copper so don't put it in where someone can drive up and grab it out of the window.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
