Traveling home from Florida in the spring I began to have engine problems. The long and short of it is my 2006 Itasca Ellipse with the 350 hp Cat C7 in pending a new engine in Jackson, Georgia.   It has been at Georgia Truck and RV.   Broken valve caused scored cylinder and broken piston.  Likely a new engine.  Waiting for damage estimate 6 weeks later.  Have extended warranty with Protective Xtra Ride extended warranty.  

Has anyone out there had a similar experience and what has been the outcome?  

Advice is also welcome.  Engine only had 12,000 miles and serviced.  

Thanks.

I recently purchased 06 Itasca Ellipse 40 ft diesel pusher.   We love the layout,power and driveability.   Problem: I scraped a cargo door on my first parking attempt, backed into a large boulder, second incident and scraped the same cargo door again at a gas pump barrier  - number 3.   

Anyone able to relate and share my pain?  

Thanks for your counsel.
