Final Update: After the guys at Camden TN CAT replaced the pump and gear assembly (shipped overnight by Morgan at Newell) we were able to get back on the road to Miami OK for some work items on the coach and a much anticipated factory tour (the factory tour was excellent and I would highly recommend it to all owners or perspective owners). Our final destination was to the Pawhuska area for Angi to visit the Pioneer Woman Ranch... it was a beautiful area and a great trip. Now that we have the accessory drive pump fixed we are looking forward to our trip to the Smoky Mountains in September and New Hampshire in October.  Thank you again to Richard and other gurus that helped us keep our wits about us during a stressful start to our first real trip in the coach. The Guru community is such a valuable resource as we all learn how to get the most out of these great machines. Attached is a picture of the new pump... it is a more compact unit and is black in color vs. the original blue Eaton Pump. I plan to check and grease the splines each year since it can be removed without disconnecting the hydraulic lines. Safe Travels... Paul
