Roof Air Problems

It appears that my roof A/C units (Coleman Mach) are at the end of their life. They struggled to cool the 345 in the intense 95 degree heat at a Florida beach. They both seemed to be operating at 60-70%. The rear cooled at night. The compressor seemed to kick on frequently. The bigger problem is water leaking into the coach (front and rear) from the units AND roof lining. I think the seals are shot somewhere.

I know Coleman, Duo-Therm, and Carrier make roof units.

1) Is any one unit better than the others? I was thinking about the high efficiency units since they draw less amps.

2) Are these units worth trying to repair or are they a replacement item? If so, what's the best way to get on top of the motorhome to service it?
