My Brother in law has a 2000 454 Brave that needs a condenser for the  motor AC. The problem is no one seems to stock it anymore, everywhere I look is discontinued. Any ideas where I can look for one.

Any Condenser of approx. same size with the same connections will work  You do not mention the manufacturer of the power train So it would help to know that  Frank

It is a 454 GM engine so I have to assume the drive train is all GM

Ralph, Your Elandon should have the same condenser as my Chieftain. Mine is a combo engine oil cooler/AC condenser and it is a factory GM part. My evaporator is attached to the coachwork but it is the factory GM unit right down to the blend door and expansion valve.
Check out this link and see if any of this stuff looks familiar, I know it is a 1990 but they did not change much.

If you plan to convert to 134 you have to replace the receiver/dryer and flush the rest of the system before putting in 134 and PAG oil. The R-12 uses mineral oil and they are not compatible. You can get away without flushing but you do need to get as much of the old oil out as possible and the dryer does need to be changed. The desiccant is different.

This piece by Winnebago should clear up what ac components are upfitter supplied and what are chassis manufacturer supplied. Covers many years
