Hi, I recently(Oct 2012) purchased a 1999 Georgie Boy Cruise Master MH with a Triton V10 motor, The dash/window heater in the cabin is not working. I took it apart to find that the control switch is not working and also tested the transistor and it too is bad. I have tried several truck parts stores and a local ford dealer in the area and they are stumped they can't find the parts that I need. Does anyone out there know where I can get these parts as I am not ready to put it away yet but can't drive it the way it is as it is cold where I am and we need heat. Thanks to anyone who can help

Hi GrampaL,
Welcome to iRV2. Can you or a super tech, make a mechanical solution so the broken parts are no longer needed?

Grampal: I believe your heat and ac controls are made by Evans Tempcon.
Evans Tempcon, Inc - Service Parts
See if your parts are here or call them, they may know where to look.
This same website has manuals and troubleshooting info...

Hope this helps. and Welcome....

i come from a small city, everyone tells me these parts are compatible with a ford econoline van - tried that- then told that could be freightliner - no luck there, that I could find- even had local ford dealers search vin to see if they could match up parts and no luck there either. I do know a mechanic that said that he could wire the heter switch but then stated that it would be better to get the original - just so frustrated right now

I have a 2001 Georgie Boy. It had the Evans heat and a/c controls. I needed a new knob and the deflectors for the windshield defroster. When I called Evans they gave me a phone number for a parts supplier. My motorhome is in the shop and the book with that number is in the motorhome. I may pick the motorhome up tommorow or Friday. I will get that number for you as soon as I can. The parts man was very helpful.

Check Ebay, many of the Evans controls were used in Dodge Pickups. That's where I found a good dash control for $24.

I have the number for Evans parts supplier if you need it.
