I have 2016 Grand Design Imagi e 2600rb with a 15k a/c. When the a/c starts up the fan comes on first then when the compressor kicks in we get a harmonic sound like two engines out of sink. Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix? Thanks.
 
One of our AC's had an out of balance sound, the tech found a balance weight on the fan an shifted positions till the fan operated in balance.
 
Are you new to rv a/c units. They are noisy! The advantage of split units is the separation of compressor from air handler.
Because the compressor motor is heavily loaded it runs at a lower speed due to field slip than the fan motor does. That would account for the harmonics. You may find that a lower fan setting may make the noise more manageable.
