2001 Tropical parts question

[g-cando]

Just bough motorhome and was wondering when I want parts for chassis ie shocks, brakes , rotors or discs do I ask the parts store for 2001 Ford F# parts? It is a ford chassis. I has a class c and it was a E350 and from literature think I am right?

Glad you're aboard. Congrats on the new to you rig. IMO if it's a E350 then there should be a sticker on the left or right door with the VIN, or on your title. Chassis parts should be Ford and you should be able to use the VIN to get the correct ones. Enjoy your adventures and be safe.

I messed up my question My 2001 Tropical has a Ford chassis. I wanted to know if when I need parts and I go to store do I ask for F53 as model?? if I need brakes , shocks etc.
I was comparing model to my old motorhome. Thanks

Yes you ask for F53 parts. However, your chassis is most likely a 2000 or even 1999 model year. You can go here VIN Decoder | fleet.ford.com and enter the VIN for the "chassis" not the coach to find information on the chassis.
