I'd like to help you but need more information. A "1995 Gulf Stream Sea Hawk" could be a Class C RV, a fifth wheel trailer, or a travel trailer. If a dash A/C unit, the motor would be supplied by chassis maker. If a rooftop unit, what brand is it? What model number? Gulf Stream assembles parts from various other manufacturers, you need to be specific as to make and model of the system you want a part for.

What I do know:
it is a 5th wheel and has a rooftop unit, ducted, Coleman 1996 model

If you're comfortable with working on it yourself, I'd go on the roof and remove the shroud. Check for 120 v at the motor so you can eliminate the possibility that its the control board, not the motor. If you're sure it's the motor, remove it and take it to an HVAC parts or service center. It most likely is a standard motor used in many units.

Thank you for your recommendation. We had an RV repair person make a service call. After looking at it he said it needed a new fan and it was most likely unavailable and recommended that we purchase a new unit for $1200.00.

I'd still remove the motor to check around, it very likely could be the same fan motor found in large window units. If you want to go used, you could get the motor # and start checking here:
