I have had that experience more than one time. I always seem to get a guy that is offended that I ask questions about something, even though I do it very politely. Candidly, I very seldom buy anything for my RV locally. With Amazon and other sources around who needs rudeness from people that don't know what they are talking about? Try calling PPL Motorhomes in Houston. I have always found them helpful and polite. They are a consignment dealer, I think the biggest in North America. They sell more than 200 units a month and are consignment only along with parts. I sold my Roadtrek 210P through them year before last and they were about as professional a bunch as I have dealt with on anything in a long time. I have bought parts and other stuff from them by phone and internet for years.

Thanks for the tip, Paul. I'll keep them in mind. The Dollar difference + international shipping etc only add to my costs so it's rarely an option.

I did call the "other" major RV place in Winnipeg and I found the parts person FAR more pleasant to deal with. His price was a bit better than the rude guy and he gave me a delivery time of "tomorrow" which was nice.

Still not happy with $150 or so (when I know motors of this type should sell for well under $50) I searched with the information I had. I found a motor on Amazon.com..it's specifically for my furnace, not a knock-off. This is still USD and international shipping but, I had previously been given a $100 Amazon gift card so, that paid for my new furnace motor. It should be here in a week or two.
