Where to get Dash Heat Parts for 02 Dutch Star

Recently I flipped the controller on the dash from A/C to heat to take the morning chill off but no heat. I took the bus to our local large diesel truck mechanic shop to have them see if they could correct the problem. They diagnosed the problem as the actuator valve that controls this door isnt operating properly. There is vacuum at the valve but it wont move the door. The other possible part I might need is the selector switch itself. The mechanic also noted that when he put his finger over the end of the exhaust of the vacuum pump itself that it appeared to leak around the top of the pump.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find some replacement parts

Thanks in advance

Terry

You might try Visone RV Salvage for used parts or maybe RV Parts and Accessories for Sale - PPL Motor Homes. I've had some amount of luck with hard to find items with PPL.

Tevans, if yours is like mine (see pic) it's made by Evans Tempcon in Grand Rapids, MI. You can buy parts directly from them. Check their website at:

It would be nice if the RV manufactures would carry parts for their RVs like the car manufactures do for their cars.

It might be nice, buddy, but impractical. The builders DO carry those parts that are used in some unique way. But RV builders produce far fewer units than car makers, and in some cases change suppliers more frequently.

In warranty cases, of course the dealer tracks down and orders the part. But in most cases it's far more efficient for the dealer to simply refer the owner to the proper supplier than it would be for him to maintain an inventory of parts for a device that may only appear in 40 of his motorhomes.

The really helpful thing would be for owners to be more careful with the books and manuals that come with the RV. That way the owner would have no trouble knowing exactly where to go to find information about his broken device. Most new units come with a host of information, a manual for the RV itself, and a manual for every device installed in it. But somehow these get lost , or thrown away by stupid people who think they're worthless, and many 2nd or 3rd owners have no source of reference at all.
