Adam,
  When I signed up for this group, I put in my description that I'm a Parts Specialist, NOT a tech but I also vowed to try to help anyone I can. While your question is WAY out of my realm of expertise, I will offer you these thoughts. I hope that is good enough.
  On American CARS, there are traditionally 2 flashers, one for the turn signals and one for the emergency flashers. It sounds like you need a flasher for the emergency flashers. Where it is located, I don't have a clue, I'm sorry. I don't think the fix for your motorhome will be that difficult or expensive. Have you looked at the Winnebago web site (if there is one)?
  As far as Chilton or Haynes goes, I'm not privy to anything they have for Winnebago but again, you might check the Internet for web sites.
  In closing, I have had good luck with local RV dealers in finding parts for other RVs. You might look in your local Yellow Pages under RVs to see if there isn't a dealership close to you that may be able to help.
  This is the best I can come up with and I hope it helps.

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
