OK Workhorse...help me out.
I have a '03 Sightseer 30B. When I got back from camping today I noticed something leaking from underneath. Upon futher inspection, it was antifreeze and it was leaking from the aluminum lines that connect the motor-aid heater in the back to the engine block in the front.
My question is...
Can these aluminum lines be replaced with rubber coolant hose???

I don't want to offer a remedy that would be contrary to the OEM equipment. There must be a reason why they are there so I would go with Winnebago's better judgment.

You can always call customer service in Forest City and get a second opinion on this. They should be able to give the straight up info as to what the possibilities are.
