Temperature Adjust on F53 chassis

The temperature adjust control on my dash seems to have only two settings: cold or hot. Very little turning of the knob results in the temp going from cold (or hot)to the exact opposite. No warm or cool or any temperature in between.. Any suggestions?
  • If I have the A?C on and want to make it a little less cold, turning the knob just a 1/8th turn causes warm to hot aire come out in about a minute or so.

    Just looked under the hood and found what I believe to be the vent control, which blocks or allows outside air to come into the cabin. Where can I expect to find the blend door?
  • Normal. On Motorhomes, unlike Automobiles, they use a simple on off valve, that either stops the 180 degree water thru the Heater core or allows a small or large amount of 180 degree water thru the heater core. Just opening that valve a little causes the heater core to go to 180 degrees. The only way to moderate the temp is to turn the AC compressor on and try to get a medium temp that is good for you. Automobiles, use a Blend door system to regulate the amount of cool and heat coming out the vents. Gas Motorhome systems are 50 years behind the times, unless you have a Diesel chassis or a more expensive Motorhome that has a better system, usually in $200,000 and up motorhomes. Doug
