How to get the radiator out is going to be very dependent on how the coach builder built around the standard GM frame. Most likely out the front, or possibly twisted sideways and down between the frame. Don't bother with a repair, get it re-cored as stated above. It is unlikely you will be able to have a full replacement, as finding one with the trans cooling lines on the correct side, along with the fill and drain, inlet/outlet in the correct locations is often a trick. Re-cored is the most practical solution. Its one of those things you just don't want to worry about when you are far from home. I would also go through and replace all the rubber - radiator hoses, belts, heater hoses, tires depending on brand and age. Also not bad to travel with a full tank of water, and carry fittings that will adapt your sink faucet to the hose. I've cut off lines, spliced stuff back together, and the refilled the radiator, while sitting on the side of the freeway. Not a pleasant experience, but we got back on the road under our own power.
