[A/S] recommend repair service



Help needed.  Repair service for our '88 Limited.
    We have discovered that the Suburban furnace will not work, 
probably needs an electronic card, because it tries to light 6 or 8 
times, finally lights, then the burner goes out and relights multiple 
times until it won't light again.  It also doesn't put out much heat 
or air flow.
    We wouldn't be able to use the furnace if it were working though,
because  we also have discovered a very small leak in the gas valve 
on the water heater which keeps it lit like a pilot even after the water 
is heated.  So we can't leave the gas on any longer than it takes to 
heat a tankful.
    And now that we've lost the cover for the propane tanks on the 
bumpy road to ............, we have to replace it.  We tried to buy a cover 
in Houston, but the poor guy didn't even know what we were talking 
about.  He had never seen horizontal tanks.
    We will be in Phoenix for about a month and southern California 
for about 3 months, so we have  more than one choice of shop to make 
the repairs.
    We would like to know what experiences or recommendations any of 
you have had with Oasis in Tucson, Arizona, the Airstream dealer in 
Mesa Arizona, or Inland RV in Corona, Ca.  Or any other service repair 
in those areas.  It doesn't particulary have to be an Airstream service 
except to order the propane cover.

    Thanks in advance.
