My trip from Vancouver, Washington was actually 20202 miles and went off without a hitch, almost. My alternator died the first 20 miles, but I had a spare and in little more than an hour I was back on the road. Then in the middle of Utah it happened again! It turned out to be a rusted and loose positive battery connection, but it cost another alternator. Luckilly I found an O'Reily auto parts store. and those guys were very helpfull. Another hour and I'm on the road again and continued without incident.
Upon my arival and setup I discovered that I must not have gotten all the water out of my water lines before I stored it last winter. Water came gushing out under the kitchen area window. My friend is letting me shower at his place but I've got to fix this. Can you guys advise me the best way or easiest way to pull out the kitchen module to get behind and do repairs? I don't think there is an easy way but it has to be done.

While mine is an earlier coach, I was able to get to MOST of the (copper) pipes on my 1973 by pulling the stove. You should have plastic pipes. (I am not sure how much the kitchen cabinets changed with the 1975 model changes...)
