2002 Country Coach Affinity-Cat powered. Discovered the power steering gear box pushed out a seal in an access panel and dumped most of the available steering fluid onto the ground. The panel is a light weight metal circular hatch that is force-fit into the main gearbox body. Talked to OMC and they advised that the gearbox is no longer available but they may have found a source that is backlogged until April. Please advise if you know of a fix or a good diesel/chassis mechanic in the Phoenix/Apache Junction area. Rich McCune 805-714-5345. Looking for ideas....

Ok. Thanks for all the helpful posts. Now on to having the motorhome towed. What
do I need to watch for when they come to tow me. I know this is a tricky thing and only can be done without damage by a knowledgeable crew. Any suggestions is helpful. We have Roadside Rescue through FMCA.
