Hadley Air Horn Damage/Road Advisory

While driving on Rte. 6 in Connecticut between Hartford and Providence, RI I was forced to drive in the breakdown lane for a number of miles because the road surface was so bad.  I was running at 35mph when a tree branch whacked the top of the coach,  breaking the ring on the  front support stanchion that holds the horn.

Will I be able to order a replacement stanchion tomorrow or will I have to buy a complete horn?

If you can't just buy the part you need, I would check with RV Salvage yards.  That is not something that normally wears out.

Also don't be afraid to try truck shops, they sometimes change just the horn and put that bracket in the drawer when the horn has failed
