Steering wheel play wise, you are okay by DOT standards. 2" is allowed for a 16" diameter wheel, but you might have a 22", which is allowed 2 3/4" play. Some play is necessary. Schedule 80 pipe might be fine or even more than enough. Given your rebuilding history, it is right in line with everything else you have done.

True Walter, but it was 2 inches each way, 4 inches total which was a little nerve wracking to drive. Hopefully we won't have too much play with this box.

Clifford, the only motorhomes I am familiar with are tiffins, and they purposely leave a little play for that purpose.

Even if I have an inch of total play in the end I will be happy.
