Stranded!! Urgent advice required . . . . .

Hello!

I am the owner of a 1998 Monaco Windsor on a Roadmaster Chassis driving from Southern Florida across the US to California and then back. At present I am stranded in Biloxi, MS where it seems that the bushing on the passenger side rear flailing arm (panhard bar??) has "fallen off" (somewhere down the I-10). This has obviously rendered the RV undrivable due to the back end almost trying to overtake the front end on the highway.

My problem is this. I have taken the RV into Empire Truck Sales of Gulfport, MS (who thus far have been very helpful) but they are unable to trace a replacement bushing from anywhere in the US and say that there if no alternative part that can be used . . . . . . . . . . . and are being told that the only place to get it is from Monaco direct, who would have to manufacture a replacement bushing (??) which of course is impossible given the current zero trading situation of Monaco.

Firstly does anyone have any experience of this? Secondly, what can I do?

Any advice MUCH appreciated . . . . . . . .

Charles
