Took it to the dealer for an estimate on the damage caused by the fire we had that was caused by the flex pipe tailpipe burning thru several weeks ago. We had to be towed 50 miles after it happened to a shop in Grants Pass Ore to have some interim work done.They replaced the flex pipe and the wiring for the right tailite,as well as the tailite that kinda melted and we went on our merry way to San Diego after three days in their driveway.Now they are looking at the heat damage to the right rear corner,the insulation that actually caught on fire and the rear wiring harness that kinda melted,but the wires held ok. They may have to remove the endcap to assess the whole amount of damage. They are also going to have to reseat the front W/S's from the MH moving on the towtruck after it was lifted. There were several nasty 6% grades on the way to G.P..
Also had to replace the front A/C shroud because when they replaced the roof,they only replaced the screws on one side of the shroud and it's laying somewhere along I-5. I also had to replace a faulty VDU in San Diego.
Really a fun trip.
