I'm OK with it. Most should not attempt a project like this, but it seems that he has a good grasp of what he is doing.. And it certainly is not in worse shape than it was before... Maybe it will fail again someday, due to the fix not being perfect... But then again, it probably wasn't perfect for quite awhile before it started leaking. And there are probably quite a few on RVs right now that are on their way to failing.
Everyone should probably run out and replace theirs NOW, as a precaution..:B
Certain subjects are really hot button issues.
People assume that just because something is beyond their abilities, that nobody is capable of it... Fact is we all have differing skill sets in life. The trick is to know just what yours are, and not underestimate or overestimate them.
Don't even get me started about the skills of RV technicians (a generous term)
Most are little more than part changers. Can't accurately diagnois or even properly install things.

"Most are parts changers"? Very unfair statement.
As far as changing parts such as a gas valve, if one of my mechanics opted to repair a gas valve and not change it out, he would be looking for a new job.
There are some things that should be replaced and never repaired. It kills me when someone try's to save a few dollars with a safety related part and some of these repairs just may kill others as well.
