Made it back from Jim K's place, my oil leak looks like just valve covers,
and my exhaust leak is just a crummy car muffler somebody put on. Needs
tires. Front suspension, brakes, PS, fuel, tranny all pretty stable.
Jim is sure the miles are 38k and not 138k.

First two things I'm digging in to:

The rear of this coach does come up to level when set to "travel", and it
will go higher if set to "raise".... There is a red warning panel that
lights up "please set to travel" when first shifted to drive, then it goes
off, then it comes back a couple minutes later and doesn't go off again.
Would prefer to fix rather than simply disable the warning. Clues?

I seem to be getting 12.8 volts across the battery while idling with no
lights on, though alternator looks newish. I drove it 30 minutes on the
highway bringing it back from Jim K's place, and the engine died as I
entered my parking lot, I literally coasted to a stop without power
steering or brakes, angled across three parking spaces.... :) If she's
always that nice to me when she breaks down we're going to get along just
fine...
