We got in late & stayed overnight in the back lot of a Camping World store in Rogers MN thinking they would be able to work on the exhaust pile, but at 8am service manager told us they couldn’t help us and he sent us to another RV dealer nearby and we sent off to find Pleasureland RV in Anoka. Theyi in turn send us to a muffler and brake shop in Elk River. They told us they could help us but not until the next day *but* our current configuration is perfectly safe. So we are off to Bismarck to arrive Wed 18 Jun as planned. Perhaps we will get the tailpipe improved in Bismarck.

With a tornado watch in force until 9 pm and severe thunderstorms with baseball-sized hail possible, we headed to Bismarck ND. Got there with no problems.

On the way to St Cloud we encountered a breakdown. The tailpipe broke loose and lodged between the right rear dual tires around 3 pm. Phone calls ensued trying to get roadside assistance via Good Sam and warranty coverage. After numerous circular conversations, a truck mechanic arrived at 7 pm to cut the damaged part loose and fasten the remaining tailpipe to the underbody.

We spent the night in the Rogers MN Camping World parking lot to be there at 8 am when service opened.
