The '95-'97 F53's didn't have a cat. Wasn't required...

All vehicles that were built for MHs were built to meet California emissions.
Only way for OP to know is to look at his.

"All F53 from 1988 to 1993 had converters. Due to cylinder head redesign and altered state of tune, all F53 from 1994 to 1997 did not have converters and met 50 states emissions requirements. The resonator on 1994 to 1997 F53 is some times mistaken for a converter. No 1998 model year F53 chassis. All F53 from 1999 to present have converters. No exceptions were made for CA."

460 in motorhome applications was pretty famous for this. Cheap easy fix (fingers crossed for you) was to insulate the the fuel line from fuel pump to the carb. An insulating fiber riser spacer between carb and manifold could help too.

There is no carb on a 95.

I would suggest that the OP physically look under his/her coach for a catalytic converter.

My F53 Motorhome is 17,000 lbs GVWR. So, no catalytic converter installed from factory. I even confirmed this myself.

YES. No check engine light. The CI light did come on 4 years ago when the fuel pump failed. It comes on briefly when starting then goes off once engine is running. (Normal)

In 94 Ford changed cylinder heads and the state of tune which allowed the elimination of the cat to the end run of the 460 in 97.
