The engine isn't a motor home engine, it's a GM / Ford, gasoline, or a Cummins / Cat, diesel engine.
Identifie the engine make and model, and look for a mobile mechanic or medium duty truck, repair shop and see if they will work on it.

1982
The only two options available were the Caterpillar 3208, non-turbo with 175 hp and the upgrade Detroit Diesel 8.2-liter turbo 205-hp engine. Neither power plant was up to the challenge of pushing a 35-foot, 22,000-pound motorhome uphill while towing a dinghy vehicle on a hot day.

Those were the days - any good diesel mechanic should be fine - the engine was a staple of the Construction industry in the 80's - I'd tend to look for someone with a little Grey on top. - 
Best of Luck,
