2015 Thor Axis 24.1. Has anyone found a place to order replacement knobs for the ones on the dash that control fan speed and temp. I found one online source who wanted 12.50 for one knob and 23.95 for shipping. A bit much for a fifty cent knob.
Ordering knobs from the Internet is like a box of chocolates: you'll never know for sure what you will get or if it will fit. When I had my fan control knob break earlier this year I ended up finding a similar knob I could 3D print and "merge" with the broken knob for a invisible repair.
I am not familiar with your coach specifics, but you could try and see if these folks can help you out if you have the Evans Tempcon control knobs. It's a start at least......they might be in the same price range you mentioned though.
You will need to know the dimensions of the shaft, with a "D" or smooth, and diameter of the outer knob.
You gotta know more than that.
On mine the shaft was a standard "D" shaft but the part of the knob that fit around the shaft also fits inside a cutout hole on the dash panel. So maybe a 1/4" "D" shaft, surrounded by a 1/2" round part of the knob attached to the 1" diameter knob. That's what makes it a crap shoot because none of the online knob descriptions talk about the center part - even on the Evan's website which lists multiple knobs.
What about the auto wreckers? It is just a Ford unit, screwed and glued in the dash. Should be able to pick something up there....
Only Ford class Cs have Ford A/C systems. Ford stripped chassis have Evans Tempcon systems bought by Thor plants and installed by those plants. Whether or not Ford trucks use the Evans Tempcon system is not known to me.

You could also try contacting Badger Truck Refrigeration in Wisconsin. I have purchased (retail) original dash vent louvres from them for my ACE, made by Coyote International (wholesale only) and Badger was excellent to deal with a few years back. Attaching a link to some dash knobs made by Coyote, but I don’t know if they are a match for yours or not. They include some spec drawings that you can check out though. Best part is they are half the price of the posted Tempcon source.... (shipping might be the same cost to you though); but no bargain if they don’t fit correctly. Good luck.
Were you able to find a place that sells the replacement?
My 2016 had a broken knob on delivery. My dealer probably replaced six knobs and ultimately I designed and printed replacements. They're not very attractive since I'm not great with 3d CAD, but I'll print and send a set for a very reasonable price if you still need them.

I'd love a copy of your STL file to see how it compares to my Frankenstein repair. It's got to be better.

Try Johneys Radiator Shop. They carry a wide selection of repair parts for Evans / evans-tempcon parts for RV dash ACs
I found part# RV219512 to be a direct replacement on my 2016 AXIS. I purchased them here: http://www.johnnysradiatorshop.com/ but if you google the part number, a few suppliers come up.
