You would think the compressor since it was running and not in a locked rotor situation could easily tolerate a brief Onan overspeed. Excess heat should have been removed by the R22 circulation. I think they get a lot worse torture in most camp grounds with big power swings and soft voltage sags at startup and long periods of near brownout voltages. I suspect a bad connection at one of the faston terminals that was marginal previous or a failed relay or cap. A good DVM in Ohms performing a series of unenergized continuity tests and then in ACV to get readings when energized will tell the tail. But first a simple visual inspection may show the issue under the units metal electrical box cover.
