Ok, now you are making us all jealous cowboy. Super C is the schnitzel!
Fantastic point being made in the posts above. I do practically ALL my own vehicle maintenance and absolutely all my RV maintenance short of getting a smog certificate. Any auto parts store in the country can look up and get me any drivetrain part I need. I simply ask for parts to fit a 1983 Ford E350. I'm sure you can figure out what drivetrain and chassis your class A is built on and track down parts on the road, but having a vehicle build plate I can reference and mainstream parts suppliers everywhere in the nation is of HUGE comfort to me. As I said earlier, the only engine part that really is hard to get at is the header bolts. Access to the front of the engine is really good and even the top is pretty accessible. We were on our way out of town and the carb. went on the fritz. I got home, opened up the carb to the float bowls, re-assembled, figured out it was a vacuum advance problem and was back on the road within 2 hours. If you have a boat, you know what kind of access you are getting in a class A.
