Arizona Radiator and Muffler shop

 

It’s not very big.

But then, what muffler shop is?

 

They have a side-yard to do their work.

 

It wasn’t a straight shot to get the bus in there.

 

They worked on the fix.  The problem is that a weld that held the exhaust pipe to the intake manifold had broken.  The emergency road service guy put a clamp over it and squeezed the joint together until we could get a more permanent fix.  The people that could do the permanent fix looked at the field-fix and decided that was the best approach.  With the engine running, they listened with a stethoscope, found a slight exhaust leak, tightened the clamp down a little harder, then put some lock nuts on so it won’t come loose.  Again, with the stethoscope, they determined the exhaust to be leak-free, and released us back out into the world.

 

Well, after I paid the bill.

 

Sixty dollars later, we were good to go.  Yes; there can be RV repairs that don’t require commas!

 

Good weather.  Good company.  Good home-cooking.

Tomorrow, we mean to resume our way east.
