2000 Fleetwood Bounder Are Dash Air Parts The Same?

[Peter_Crowl]

F550 V-10 Ford Chassis. I need to replace the Receiver Dryer in the A/C system. IS this the same item as any other F550 of the same vintage?
Update: Looking at the F550 part online it's not the same as what's in the rig.

I disagree:) The OP has a 21 year old Fleetwood Gas. While Denso did supply some Dash AC components to Fleetwood DIESEL models about 22 years ago, they did not supply GAS system components in 2000. Read what Denso has on their website for RV systems. 15 years puts us back to 2005, not to 2000. Also, there should be some tags on the evap cover and area of the OP's stating the maker of his system. He can also go to both Denso and Evans and look at the listing for DASH controls and see which matches his, which will be the maker of his Dash AC system. Doug

Disagree all you want but Denso did supply HVAC to the OP's coach.
My 1995 Bounder gas has a Denso HVAC system. Denso was the premier supplier of HVAC to Fleetwood back then. It's easy enough to tell to tell if a Denso HVAC is installed. It's all electric with no vacuum controls.

Guys...I found it yesterday as I mentioned above. Just searched the F53 chassis on Rock Auto and there it was. Just over $10 at that!

I thought everything except maybe the compressor. Is add on from the rv builder not from chassis mfg

The compressor and condenser are part of the Ford chassis. The dryer is attached to the condenser too. The body builder supplies the evaporator housing.

The OP has a 2000 Ford chassis. back then Ford supplied the Compressor and the Condenser. "Usually", the RV OEM builder installed the Dryer and the hoses to the Evap housing and the AC controls and wire harness. And this was more common Evans-Tempcon AC systems. Doug

Yes - thanks for the reply. F53 is the key bit. Rock auto has the part and I found it once I searched F53 not F550. What confused me is the F550 documentation that came with the RV.

Yes! And that was the key to finding the part. Thanks!
