If the oil pan is off I recommend having it welded, cleanliness is important either way you go. If you plan on just getting by leaving it on, the jb or epoxy will probably do the job, but I wouln't trust it as a permanent fix. Before you buy a replacement take it to a competent weld shop for them to look at it. They probably won't do it with it on the coach. I have had success welding oil pans in the past usually beacuse of a hole. After its welded I like to leave it full of water for a while to make sure it doesn't leak.
