the make of the unit is a coachman santara but thats beside the fact its a 1994 yr but thats beside the fact,,If you live in a high humidity area or near the coast it is still a factor reguardless the year,,granted a newer unit shld not have the problem as extensive as mine but be as it may I wld check just to be safe...The erosion was so bad on mine I could stick a nail thru the alum. line..but only where the brass covered the line the rest of the line was ok I think the best thing to do is just go ahead and replace the alum. with copper....the alum. line could and eventually will lead to a fire in the refer.housing...if you can get the alum. line off in one piece take it to a home improv.cnt or to you local hardware and they can match it fo you if you dont have a flareing tool and thats something a lot of ppl dont have laying around. if you lived in Pensacola fl. just bring it over and we would do it here and while we were at it we wld just pressure the coach for rain leaks...I have my own machine to do it at my house,,,
