Since I could not get parts for this I decided to get two 12 volt fans and a automatic start kit to run them. This start kit has a radiator sensor and is supossed to automatically fire them when the temp gets above 195. I added a remote control switch also so if they don't start I can press a button on a remote and start the fans also.
With two 16 inch fans mounted on the outside of the radiator with zip ties it really helps keep the temps in check. Total cost about $100 and we put it in two hours ( mostly wasted time trying to figure out where to mount them and wire them ). These fans are reversable in direction but luckily they pulled air instead of pushing air so we didn't have to.

Is this a side radiator or rear radiator you have on your coach. Just wondering because you mention a clutch type fan. I have a rear radiator and the fan does not have a fan clutch, so that is why I was wondering.
