With a 79 it'll be trial, error and learn as you go. Most of these rigs are pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Two things that will bug the heck out of you are plumbing and electrical. For the electrical, I went thru my entire coach with a pack of zip ties and tied the wiring every 12-15 inches. This keeps the wiring from bouncing back and forth thereby keeping it from breaking. The rest of the wiring thru the coach is in looms so don't worry about them. As for the plumbing, I often wonder what they were thinking when it was installed. Anyway, look at where your issue is and determine if there is a different/better way of fixing the leak. These coaches used PEX, or similar, plumbing. With Shark Bite fittings available, (Home Depot) most plumbing is a simple fix. I carry several extra fittings in case I need them. Many come in a 3 pack. Make a note of things you do with photos, so you have a record if needed. Also, one of THESE will help you find things you cannot otherwise see. Best of luck...Dennis
