    Welcome to the forum. Sad to hear you are having problems. What can't they fix? The break problem is probable a melted hose. They should be able to just replace it. What size is your exhausts pipe? I don't understand why they can't source the pipe and replace it. 

    Is the fuel filter head leaking?

    What does the  a Racor control box do and does it still work?

     lines to tank drains. What are they made of rubber or pex? 

    The battery box. What got damaged on it? My BB is all steel. Is it still holding the battery's up?

    Ray, Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas.  I don't like to drive long distances earthier. 150-200 miles a day is plenty. I also like to travel every outher day. I don't have to be anywhere in a hurry. 

    "high-profile vehicles have a special set of circumstances to follow." I don't remember any special rules last time I went across. It is a great view.

    You should be able to do it yourself. There should be a thin cover in the center of the trim piece. Look at the end it might be easier to see. You carefully open it so you can get access to the screws. I would use a quality stainless screw just go bigger in diameter than what is there. I would also add at least one extra in between the existing ones. Well, it depends how far the originals are apart. More is better. 
    Let me know what you find.

    Ray I agree I logged in and got to a page with the heading "Membership" and it has the  join/renew square buttons. I click on the renew  and it refreshes to the same page. It also has renew  in the upper right part of the header. This page shows my statis but no place to renew. If I needed to renew I would call them and make inquiries.

    Welcome to the forum. When are you planning this trip? I would work my way up to Calgary then pickup 1 the Trans Canadian Hwy. When you get to Vancouver I would take the toad to Victoria and take 1 the Trans Canadian Hwy to mile marker 0. They eaven have a turn around loop so you can head back East.

    I would take I-5 back south. Don't forget to stop at Olympic National Park and get your stamp.

    My work-around is to just slow down on rough pavement until it is bearable for me and our MH. I'm retired, hurry is not a word I use every day.

    I agree with Ray. I don't have to be any ware in a hurrey. 

    I don't think there is any road that doesen't have some areas that are rough or under construction. You can often see where deferent maintence areas end by the condition of the road.

    Using US highways or State highways sounds great but much of the time I find it doesn’t live as well as it sounds on the internet. I have driven across New England on them. The problem in the North and Northeast is the roads are old and narrow with no place to get off and no sholderrs and few places you can get in to fuel. I don’t do that anymore. I will use all the Interstates and toll roads I can. As an example, a couple weeks ago we drove from FW down to Kerrville on 67 and 281. Not bad roads but the problem is there are so few places to stop/pull off the road. There were several rests stops all closed. We came back up I-35. Eaven made it through Austin without a big problem. There are several nice rest areas where you can stop and walk the dog and me.

    Before I retired from Lockheed they had some steel 3-D printers and we were making tooling that located from drawings in the 3-D cad/catia programs. You could make a tool that way in about 8 hours that would take several weeks to make the traditional way.

    Ray, I am with five on that. Yes you can but it is such a pain to do. One of the You Tube channels made up a device to use to do it. It had a valve so you could blead down the air and get the compressor to start and provide usable air preshure. Outherwise when the preshure leveled off above the start point for the compressor you had to go pump the brakes to lower it to get the pump to start. 

    One outher thing make shure you have a air fitting that fits the hoses you are carryings. The one by the generator is not compatible to standard air hoses. There should be a male fitting secured near the female fitting. This is so a tow truck can air up the system and release the brakes if needed. I made a adapter incase I wanted to use it.

    Some RV parks have solved this dilemma, they tire of  this breed back N forth discussion and ban all dogs.  The current situation of more RVers than RV sites means turning away pet owners should not hurt their business.

    I don't know about that. I haven't done a official survey but I bet 75% of RV owners travel with pets.
