Hey everyone. The family and I are on a trip to western Kansas, currently near Boise Idaho. The passenger side CV boot boot s torn and I can’t find anyone willing to even look at it because “we don’t touch motorhomes.” I have a duct tape and zip tie patch on it for now, but any recommendations for somewhere or someone who could do a proper fix would be greatly appreciated! Don’t know if this is allowed here, but my number isn’t s 860 917 8077

I can't help much from here, but maybe you can convince them that this isn't just any "motorhome" and it really isn't much different than a large GM FWD car. The CV boot job isn't all that difficult, if you can get past the "no motorhomes" mentality.

If it's the outer cv joint boot, I would find a Dorman Speedi-boot #03609 to fix it while on a trip.
