Workhorse or P-30 Chassis

I have been buying parts for my 1996 Georgie Boy Cruise Master 3124W using the P30 chassis selection.
Yesterday I was told that my RV has a Workhorse chassis, not a P 30, and that is why a new A/C condenser would cost around $1700.00, and the one I can get from the parts store for the P 30 chassis for $150.00 would not work.
How can I determine whether I have a P30 or a Workhorse chassis? Is that what the W in the model number stands for?
I'm at a loss.

Same..o, same ..o, sorta, kinda.
P30 is the Generic term.
P32 is the actual chassis for a Motorhome.
It was designed and sold by GM and specifically for Chevrolet.
Workhorse bought it in 1999 and continued to produce it, with widening the track a few years later and then with discontinuing it, altogether in favor of their W chassis.
Buying anything Workhorse, for it, will cost a lot more and like buying a Chevy part at the Jeep garage for your Jeep.
Parts are available and abundant from many sources, including Amazon.

Thank you everyone!

My VIN starts with 1GB so it verifies my thoughts that it is a P30.

As far as the A/C. I will probably try replacing the condenser and recharging the A/C.

I prefer the engine A/C to putting hours on the generator and running the roof A/C's. Last year when the temperatures in the 90's, the coach A/C's ran constantly trying to make the inside of the coach bearable.

Thanks Again....Bob

In my experience, it's a never ending battle with keeping an old dash AC working for long and if the roof units won't cool it, the dash certainly won't and probably burns as much extra fuel in the process.
Besides that, the genset supplies hot water and the fridge, as well.
Doesn't hurt to run the gen and takes a lot of hours, before it's wears out.
