Thanks for the suggestions folks! I'll definitely sign up for a roadside insurance program. Don't think my Geico program will cover the RV but I'll check. Belts & hoses passed a visual, and no leaks after an hour at idle & 10 mile road test - but... long drive up Grapevine Hill will be a much tougher test. I'll plan to stop frequently for fluid and wear checks. Sure hope that water pump doesn't fail. Read about a lot of fuel pump/filter/line issues, but I could hopefully deal with those. No way I could replace a water pump by the side of the road. Yeah I'll bet the black tank will be nicely scrubbed by the time I get home - another good tip!
So... here's hoping I can report a boring drive home! I'm sure I'll be searching the archives for advice as this is my first RV. Thanks for your help.
