OE was R 12.  No idea if a previous owner may have converted it.

Would have been r-12 to start with. Its not very likely that it is still filled with the R-12.

check the fittings, 134a converted are different than 12R,  You can still get 12R, but if you intend to keep it have it converted. My 96, when I bought it, the A/c did not work, so I replaced the compressor, no good.  the dryer had ruptured and the little Beads made it all the way to the front of the coach, going under the dash, disconnecting the lines, loading it with carb cleaner and using compressed air to try to push out all the little dryer beads from both directions for over 4 hours, I finally got it to break through and the little beads came flying out, continued to flush it for another 30 minutes until no more beads, put it all back together, dried it out, new dryer, re-charge and finally got it working.  However, it is really only adequate when sitting in the front seats.  running the generator and the two rooftop A/C's works better to cool the entire motorhome.  It was an absolutely miserable job.

RandallBrink, if you want, take a picture of your access ports in the front hood area. If it's been converted, we should be able to tell what it had in it before it leaked. If it's 134a, it should have 134a connections.  Let's hope anyway.
