I'm 60 y/o with a bad heart and slight stroke damage to my left side. I've had 3 back surgeries. I still RV. If it is something that I can do myself I will if not I hire a technician to address it.

I'm not sure where you live but Google RV mobile repair and see what is around for you to choose from. If you purchase from a dealer check them out as well.

I would not let this stop me from traveling.
