    The blower motor in my bunk A/C failed, and I'm wondering if there's an automotive equivalent to replace it with. Anyone know an application (make, model, year) that I could give to an auto parts store that would yield a motor that fits?

    Went by NAPA today, and they actually had a motor listed for that application - but it wasn't in stock and would take 3 days to get. They found one for me on the shelf that had the same specs, but I had to drill two holes in the flange and shim it up about 6 millimeters to get it to fit in the housing without the blower cage rubbing on the back side. But I have A/C in the bunk again!
