That's the kind of thing I worry about on the road. But no worries here life's about having fun . No sense in worrying about it till something happens then I'll worry.

There are quite a few folks on the forum that have had breakdowns on the road and found adequate service.
Here is one such link

FWIW I recently traded in the Challenger on a Super C on a Freightliner S2RV chassis. The local Freightliner dealer, about 3 miles from the house, will perform service on motor homes, however, there is a catch. For folks with a diesel pusher on a Freightliner chassis they only work on them one day a week and there is a 20.00 per hour surcharge on labor. Folks like me that have a Super C on a S2RV or M2-106 chassis can schedule an appointment anytime and we are not subject to the labor surcharge. The reason is accessibility to all of the engine and chassis components without having to tear half the motor home apart to get the things. A lot of discussion on IRV2 and Jayco about this very issue.
Basically, we all face challenges and how we deal with them is part of the adventure. Heck driving a coach 500 miles for service can be an adventure in and of itself. I may take my Accolade to the Freightliner Oasis service center in Gaffney SC for its first service just to see where the chassis was built and see what they are all about.
