         Normally, I would go to WaltsRV in Ocala.  However, Walt is 
semi-retired, and may not be able, or willing, to chase leaks - that 
usually takes two people to do.  My most recent experiences with AS repairs 
have been at the Jackson Center (Ohio) factory.  They do good work, and 
pricing is OK, especially if you do it in the winter months.  Perhaps Bates 
RV there in Florida would be a good choice, since it's fairly close to you.
