I am thinking about replacing the AquaHot exhaust pipe that runs under the coach. I am pretty sure I have a little leak right near where the insulated run connected to the pipe portion near where the AquaHot exhaust comes through the body floor.
If anyone has done this job, please give me your advice and experience. I am wondering about the material in the insulation right now. Do you know if it is asbestos free? I will send Newell a query on that.
I am reasonably certain the union placed near the AquaHot transition through the floor will never be able to be turned open just due to the corrosion and rust evident from years of service. A reciprocating saw should handle that and hopefully I will be able to turn the threads loose to put in new pipe. One of those jobs that once you make the first cut you are kind of committed.
More later..... Russ
