Hi,
In addition to specifying which part needs to be replaced/repaired, it would also be helpful if you could tell us which chassis your motorhome is built upon. Gas (Ford or Workhorse) or diesel (I have no idea if any Dolphins were on diesel chassis', and if so, whose?).
Some parts of the A/C system are typically supplied by the chassis manufacturer (compressor & condensor) and others are fitted by the coach builder (control panel, evaporator) oftentimes supplied by a third party (Evans-Tempcon for example), so all of the information is needed to give a good answer.
And yes, finding the right part can be a challenge. I needed a new compressor for mine a few years back and it took some creative searching to find the right compressor to replace the original WITHOUT paying outrageous Workhorse prices.
