Hi Dave,
Luke at US COACH can probably fix you up. His number, if you don't already have it is 888-262-2434.
You might want to measure the diameter. of both pulleys' before you call...just in case you're not standard.

Hello Dave.
For the benefit of other viewers, and if you weren't thinking about it yourself...
Everyone shold have a spare blower belt for their MCI in the coach. Your chances of finding one locally when it breaks are slim to none. (same goes for the matched set of four alternator belts, if you're belt driven)
Buy a new one, and rotate the old one to back-up duty. If the old one's age is unknown or is in poor shape, buy two new ones.
The one being kept for back-up isn't much good if it's shot too!
Decide on a time based replacement cycle, and stick to it.
It is amazing the number of busnuts that return their coaches to fresh and new, and then as the years go by, let the preventive maintenance slip back to an unreliable condition again.
happy coaching!

I called MCI Parts to get a spare blower belt. They shipped it overnight.
