While driving behind me one cold Arkansas day, my wife noticed smoke coming from the area where the exhaust stack enters the muffler. Yesterday a friend took this video. 

After the run we were inspecting the engine bay and I noticed a coolant pipe joint that appears to be missing clamps or the clamps are not in the proper position (see pictures of pipe entering the radiator). Before I brought the coach home a Detroit Diesel shop worked on that side of the engine. 

We’re hoping this is the issue BUT... adding clamps will be difficult!!!

By chance does anyone know what size the pipe/joint sleeve is or what size clamp would be used? I’d like to use T Bolt clamps like the ones used on the pipe above. 

(The first pic loaded 90* from the proper orientation)

I’m going to be working/living in Phoenix, AZ downtown at APS for the foreseeable future and would like to find somewhere close to park the coach.  If you know of anywhere that is safe (wife will probably be home most of the time) and close to downtown or can ride the train in please let me know!  Thanks!

I replaced the old Sony backup camera with a new color LCD screen and camera along with two side view cameras.  I placed the new camera on the upper cabinet bottom so I can see it better going down the road.  
Any good suggestions as to what to do with the old hole left by the Sony Cam?

I set up camp yesterday, somewhat in a hurry, trying to beat the rain. The rain started shortly after I arrived, and will continue now through tomorrow. I just happened to look up and notice a section of my slide seal popped out while extending the slide out room number three. Luckily, the coach is positioned such that there is virtually no water intrusion. So I’m going to leave it until the rain quits. Any suggestions how to tackle This problem?
