Tail pipe bend closing off part of exhaust, is this a serious problem

I had the motorhome lube service yesterday and they showed me the passenger side tail pipe that exits just aft of the door and is about a foot or less off the ground, has apparently hit something at some time. Consequently that bend that brings it to the outside of the coach is narrowed down to about half the pipe size which now exits the sdie about a foot further to the rear. It has never caused a problem yet, runs fine but what about back pressure affecting power or damaging the engine.
I need advice about getting this pipe replaced or not.
Most of the muffler shops I see are hole in the wall shops and no room for a big motorhome.
I guess those shops do gas welding so not a problem to unhook the electronics first. But it is right under the propane tank ?
thanks for any and all advice,
Bebop Bill Forrest

That shouldn't be a problem. I had my step welded on my MH and it is next to the propane tank. They placed a thermal blanket on it and made sure the propane tank was off. Welded it on and turned the propane back on. Any welding or muffler shop should be able to do the work.

IT's a 3 inch tubing so shouldn't be too small. This has a Vortec engine not a Ford.
Thanks for your reply,
Bebop
