to the taillights, it presents the perfect package of mechanical wrongness,
in self renewable form.

When you replace the roof vents, use the metal ones. They are easily
available, and don't break into dust at the first hail stone. Same sizes
made in both metal and plastic, within pennies of the same cost.
Most 5th wheel roof air runs on 220 / 30 amp for the compressor, but the
blower fan is 110,
I recall there is an in tank fuel filter that sits at the bottom of the
tank where the fuel line attaches. I wager that the filter is completely
clogged with "something". I would attach a cheap 12v fuel pump to the tank
outlet fitting and try to pump fuel into a container. If that fails to
produce
Chances are, that push rod is now bent. I would not reuse it.
Cause: Possible excessive valve clearance, possible weak or cracked valve
spring which let the rocker "float" out of the push rod pocket. or, the
push rod could have failed and bent on its own which would have made it
lose thus unseated

Wasn't the year of delivery also the year that the price of crude oil

Since a relay is a pretty simple electrical switch that uses a small
current to close a larger circuit [ie starter solenoid] how about just
finding an off the shelf relay that has the same values for both the low
circuit and the high power circuit?
I wager the glow plugs don't care as long as they

Actually, only a little high on price.. market value

"Not more than a few minutes without overheating" speaks loudly of a
blown head gasket and intrusion of combustion gasses into the cooling

140 +- at 400 F, so compression blows into coolant and makes it hot,
