TLTR: Broken left side glass being replaced with new gasket, right side reset.
Had an issue with the right rear height control valve pitching over center and forcing that corner into a full up condition. It would not return to a normal condition on its own. First I drove from Mesa to Tonopah where I discovered the issue. Then I drove back to Mesa to see if Leo could do anything.
He swapped the arm to the other mounting hole and that appears to have corrected that issue.
So on the return to Mesa to see Leo I noticed a crack in the lower left corner of the left glass. It started several inches from the left corner and went vertical for 18" another crack went to the right at about 12" up from the bottom to the right vertical leg of the glass. A week later I was leaving a camp spot in the Coconino National Forest when I noticed the top left of the left glass and the bottom right of the right glass had popped out of the gaskets. The gasket had also popped off the body at both corners. Clearly the coach had been racked. A twisting moment across the entire coach.
Now several weeks later the crew is replacing the glass and gasket. They has a bear of a time getting the right glass back in. Now they are struggling getting the top left corner of the left glass seated.
