Just discovered a large fist size hole in the exhaust tailpipe of my 2004 National Trop-ical. The hole is in the 90 degree bend 12 inches from where it exits the coach. The five inch diameter tail pipe is about 4 feet long and has one slight bend and one 90 degree bend.
Do Truck muffler shops have the capability to bend 5" pipe to order like auto shops? Can I patch the hole with exhaust patching material? Doesn't seem to be a safety hazard as its so close to the normal exit and there are several barriers to the inside of the coach.
Any suggestions?
I had one in our old coach just before it exited in front of the wheels. I wrapped thin alum. flashing material around it a few times and held it tight with twisted wire every few inches. It was there for years and when we sold it last year.
