Good morning. I bought a 2011 Roadtrek 210 Versatile (3500 Chevy V8) last month and I've been having some trouble with it. I bought it in CA and drove it to Oregon and halfway through the trip I stopped at a visitors center and when I came back out it wouldn't start. It turned over, so it wasn't a battery problem. I got it towed ($700 because of my location even though I had roadside assistance) and a mechanic in Crescent City was able to fix it the following morning. He said it was a bad relay to the fuel pump. My check engine light that had been on also went off after he fixed it but he was unsure if it was related or not because he reset it and said the code was reading "evap" issue.
A week ago the check engine light came on again and we bought a code reader and it said "evap" again and then 3 days ago we took it out of town and stopped for gas and it wouldn't start again. It seems like the same issue as when it broke down in Californina. We had it towed to Corvallis Oregon and they are going to look at it on Wednesday. The truck is always running fine or normal before this happens.
My guess is we didn't fix the right problem in Crescent City and there is a bigger issue that is causing this relay to fail. I am no mechanic though. Anybody have any insight on this? The truck has less than 40K miles on it.
I've asked the seller and they deny this every happened with them. They are the second owners and I don't think they used it much in the last year. I was hoping it was just from having it sit without use but now I'm concerned and I'm worried.
Thanks for any help.
