What did you do to your Class A MH today???

I had jury rigged the surge tank hose on our 08 Vacationer on our last trip. The 1 1/4" hose failed because they force it over a 1 3/8" nipple on the surge tank. Monaco told me the nipple was 1 1/2" and I knew the T fitting at the engine is 1 1/4" so I had to reorder a 1 1/4" to 1 3/8" reducer so I could update to a chunk of 1 1/4 and 1 3/8" silicone hose. I now have a piece of hose that won't crack due to the heat off the regen can. I also replaced the thermostat and replaced the coolant.
