My wife and I were at the Spokane KOA, headed west in our 20' 1989 ""Jamee"" RV. The coolant level was down 1/2 gallon in one day so I googled some radiator shops in the area. Northwest was the only shop that could manage to look at it that day (Friday). As soon as I pulled in there was a mechanic underneath the hood. He said there were ""tube to header"" leaks, the radiator was shot. Wayne at Northwest did not have the correct replacement, but found one locally that arrived within 1/2 hour. Instead of the aluminum radiator he quoted it was brass and copper, like the original. Within two hours I was on the road again. Could not have had a better experience. PS - I had no idea how much a bad radiator and chronic running hot had been affecting the driveability (uphill acceleration, top comfortable speed) and mileage of this vehicle.
