Thanks all for the quick replies. Son of Norway, I have sent an email (the recommendation on their website for quicker response and also it was after hours by the time I saw your recommendation) to Best Auto and Motorhome. Also called a friend of a friend who rents out used Class C motorhomes for some advice. He says it is easy to drop the gas tank which he has done several times without lifting the unit. If Best Auto and Motorhome has a long lead time I guess I have no alternative, but to give it a try. Unfortunately it was 89 degrees in Denver today and I was sweating riding my motorcycle. Tomorrow and Saturday winter returns with temps in the 30's and snow, sigh. Hope fully there is enough space in the new barn at my spouse's brother's place to at least do this semi indoors on level concrete rather than a crush asphalt driveway in the open where I did all the fluid changes. Still pondering if I really want to go cross country routinely with few repair facilities booked out long into the future. Especially since wildtoad says he can't even get a current year Ford Class C serviced at a dealer. That is really disapointing. Having a local truck center or independant shop you can go to is great, but it still leave the problem of something going wrong far from home with no where to turn. Doesn't provide much piece of mind. Fortunately the spouse if a flight attendant for a regional airline with multiple major airline that we can fly standby for free. May have to resume paying through the nose for hotel rooms and renting cars. That is problematic too since rental cars are in short supply and unavailable some of the places and times we want to go. When available they are very expensive even with a very good air crew discount. So much so that we took an hour and a half Uber ride for $205 rather than a one way car rental. Never thought there would be any circumstance where a $205 for an Uber would be acceptable let alone welcome under the time constraints and alternative costs we were looking at. Crazy **** post covid world!

Hope I get my gas line fixed, lol. At least that is how I think this all started. Think the motorhome is old enough not to have a catalytic converter so I'm good there. However there could be someone living in it when I wake up tomorrow. Hope I can evict them......
