Steve, I like your fix... I particularly like your demonstrated use of the strap to diagnose and repair.
Here after I'll be carring a "get home strap" in my mobile tool kit.
but it kills me knowing that every single RV out there is just one twist or bounce on the highway from problems.... never mind the extreme places many of us take our truck campers.
Many owners are not as skilled as you are... or save every scrap like we do :S just in case. And there really aren't many repair places that are innovative enough to do the fixes.
I will say this; Even with our campers problems they are worth every minute of work to keep them going for just one more trip.... or more.
Thanks for sharing
Chet
