1999 SeaView v10-Need AC Compressor

[J-ROD]

Compressor is dead and local ford dealer has been looking for a month without anything found. I should have started here. I did a quick search but no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Again it is a 1999 SeaView with Ford V-10.
It is the dash air
Thanks in advance.

If the dash control looks like one of these it is an Evans Tempcon, Inc

A compressor is not listed on their Evans Tempcon, Inc - Service Parts

A call to them would probably get you the correct info for your compressor.

Awesome! How did you find it? What numbers am I looking for?
Thanks again.

I'd think he just looked it up for a 1999 E-350 or E-450 van chasiss with a V-10 engine.

Call me crazy but don't you think my dealer did that as well? This isn't a class C MH so it is on the ford chassis but no van. Is it the same?
If so, the dealer is fired.

If you call napa and tell them it is on a F 53 chasis they can get it if not order it from air components they usualy have everything.

No I won't call you crazy. A lot of dealers get used to getting the parts from the RV suppliers due to higher profits they can make. and some RV customers might really get upset if they knew thier RV parts came from a auto parts store.
I don't see how a A/C compressor for a dash A/C unit for a Ford Van is going to be different from one for a dash unit for a RV.
They are all going to bolt to the engine in the same place in the same way and turn the same direction.
There really is no need for the RV designers to re-engineer what Ford engineerd allready.

On alot of gas coaches the A/C compressor is on the engine when the mfg receives the chasis, they just add onto whats there, why would anybody be upset where the part comes from if it fits and works then giddie up!

[J-ROD]

Thanks for the explanation. I'll get one and take it to the dealer and they can tell me if it matches up. They owe me that.
Appreciate the help you guys. Have a great Holiday.

These are the same people who in the late 70s got upset when they found out that thier Oldsmoble they just bought has a chevy engine in it.
My Father bought one and couldn't have cared less.
Then he got a check in the mail from GM ($300 if I remember right) with a letter saying if he cashed the check he waived all rights to legal action.
He laughed all the way to the bank.
