Dealership ???? Do you mean as in a GMC or Chevy dealership ?
I hope you checked the credentials of their techs. This is not intended as any kind of a put down, but I have GREAT difficulty finding Chrysler/Dodge dealerships that are even AWARE that Dodge supplied motorhome chasiss(sp) in the 1970s.

(but I recognized from somewhat long ago previous postings that you are using one of the preferred methods to move a disabled GMCMH(or any MH that is under 13'6" when on a Landall))

Look forward to seeing the pictures when you unload at the shop.
The Schrader valves for temporary filling of the air bags...are what you want from TrueValue or Ace Hardware or auto shop. Take the old power steering hose to a good hydraulic shop and some NAPA shops and they can make a new one.
Good luck,
Dennis
