purchased holiday rambler and have some questions

[Rolandj]

So i am new to owning an rv and just purchased a 1997 holiday rambler w a 7.5L in it . One thing I noticed is there is an exhaust leak and I've heard its probably the manifold as well as the air pump on it. Im wondering if i could do new headers and the just put a new buffer and turn it out . Anyone recommend an easy fix? Im mechanically inclined an can do the work just not sure exactly where it is leaking . Also ned the plastic grill believe its the vest for the hot water heater outside.I found a replacement metal vent for the stove just looking for some cosmetic things , Appreciate any help. Thanks

I agree likely your exhaust manifolds. If they have been leaking for any period of time they will need to be resurfaced, short of doing that you will continue to have problems. Putting good quality headers on probably isn’t any cheaper.

I've found a few websites on the 'net that have Holiday Rambler parts available for some of the older RV's. Google is your friend here.

If your exhaust manifolds are leaking, that can be a pain. You could remove them and look for cracks. If OK put them back on after a good cleaning of the mating surfaces on the block and manifolds. New gaskets of course. I'd buy new hardware and use anti-sieze on the bolts if it were me. (just in case you ever have to take it back apart)

Good luck!!
