This post is a perfect example of why you need to do your due diligence before purchasing any RV. If your budget is being eaten up with loan payments, a maintenance item like this can be disastrous. Either the coach has to sit until you can afford to do the repairs or you have to take out another loan to get it back on the road again.
Class A RV's are not cheap and just making the loan payments are only a small part of the total cost of ownership. Be sure to allow money to actually travel(RV park fees and fuel) as well as maintenance items that are planned and, as in this case, unplanned repair items.
In this case, the OP has ordered the parts and will do the repairs and get back on the road. If your budget cannot absorb an unexpected expense like this, perhaps a Class A RV is not the best thing to buy. Think of what you would lose if your Class A has to sit unused, maybe at a remote location, while you still have to make the required loan and insurance payments.
