Need to find a dash heat/ac control for my 1995 Itasca

[Idahored]

The dash heat/ac control broke, (plastic crap) and Winnebago says they are no longer available, and I'll need to find a used one. So I'm searching for some leads to used RV parts suppliers for my coach. Any leads are appreciated. 1995 Itasca Passage 23RC.

Can you post a picture of it? It is probably the same as some vehicle in use out there like a pickup truck most likely.

And theres a thread on the forum showing the different styles and the sources for them.

[Rickf1985]

That thread is for the older 80's models. Might still be using the same ones but I doubt it. They were still using Dodge back then, I think the Dodge units were probably getting hard to find by 95. I will bet on a early GM product.

Mopar,  Ram truck 80's till mid 90's part# 4361258. Find them on ebay. Other Ram truck variations have chrome buttons but will still fit.

I was wrong, not only do they still use the Dodge unit but the newer ones look exactly like the 70's and 80's ones. Some things never change. I wonder if the blower switches still burn up on the new ones? D:oH!

Here is a picture of it. I pulled the radio to get a look at the wiring.

  I'm guessing they had to use the mopar because of the electric servos they used for the vents.  I think around 97/98 Winnie went to the 3 dial GM type that specs for the p30 chassis.


No problem with fan switch so far but previous/original owner said he was warned to never turn on the heat/ac with fan switch on high.

That is a standard Dodge control unit.  There's threads here talking about them.  Use the search function.

Winnebago quit selling those, so couldn't purchase a new one, so I had to get one off Ebay for $110.  The front control is exactly the same and also the same size, so I hope the connections in the back will be the same  i??

[Rickf1985]

Most don't have any controls for the rear heat other than a blower switch. The heat is always on since the hot water lines run straight to the rear heater. Unless yours has an inline heater valve. I plan on putting one in mine. Right now I put in manual valves to shut off the rear heat. MUCH cooler back there after a trip now!

Thanks for all the info and help ! I bought one from a Ebay seller for $110, who just happened to have 6 of those. The face looked exactly like mine, but no picture of the back so couldn't tell if it was the same hook up as mine. So it was a gamble. I got it in todays mail, and compared the two, and they are the same ,,,,His listing said Dodge Ram 1990-1999   Cheers !
